    A rare cause of cyanosis in childhood: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
    (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017-01-01) Guvenc, Osman; Saygi, Murat; Demir, Ibrahim Halil; Odemis, Ender
    Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, which is defined as the presence of an abnormal connection between the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein, is rarely seen. Although it generally presents as a congenital condition, it may be accompanied by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Clinical signs vary according to the amount of shunt in proportion to the number and size of the fistulae. Patients may present with cyanosis and respiratory trouble. If the disease remains untreated, it may result in cardiac failure and infective endocarditis, thereby leading to the rupture of the aneurysmal fistula. Transcatheter embolization of abnormal vascular connection is the current treatment method in this disease. This article describes the case of an 8-year-old child. He was presented with the symptom of getting tired quickly. Transcutaneous oxygen saturation of 75\%, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation were detected in his examination. Successful transcatheter embolization of the fistula was performed.

    Rare combination and transcatheter treatment during single session in an infant: Patent ductus arteriosus and major aortopulmonary collateral artery concordance
    (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016-01-01) Guvenc, Osman; Odemis, Ender; Saygi, Murat; Demir, Ibrahim Halil
    Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are abnormal vascular structures that may be seen in cyanotic diseases that progress with reduced pulmonary flow. They occur rather rarely in the absence of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Presently described is the case of an infant who underwent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and major aortopulmonary collateral artery occlusion in a single session, without presence of cyanotic congenital heart disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of congenital aortopulmonary collateral artery to be reported in a symptomatic infant with PDA.
