Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) can induce cryptogenic stroke and are also an important cause of stroke in young adults. The risk of ischemic stroke increases with age in patients with PAVMs. Contrast echocardiography can be used for early screening of PAVMs, especially in young patients with cryptogenic stroke. After treatment, patients with PAVMs have a reduced risk of ischemic stroke. This article summarizes the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of PAVMs by retrieving studies on PAVMs and ischemic stroke, in order to improve the understanding of PAVMs and avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
