A Case of Mitral Stenosis Associated with Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

We present a rare case of mitral stenosis with bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae (PAVF). A 55-year-old female who complained of dyspnea did not have pulmonary hypertension. She underwent successfully mitral valve replacement with an artificial valve 2 months after transcatheter coil embolization for PAVF. The combination with mitral valve replacement and transcatheter embolization is regarded as a useful procedure for mitral valve disease associated with PAVF.
