ABSTRACT
Las malformaciones arteriovenosas pulmonares (MAVP), son verdaderas fístulas vasculares de alto flujo y baja presión carentes de filtro capilar pulmonar. Consisten en la unión de una arteria a una vena mediante unsaco aneurismático. Se trata de una patología muy poco frecuente y con una alta asociación con la enfermedad telangiectasica hereditaria. A continuación se realiza un análisis de tres casos con diferentes formas clínicas de presentación.Se destaca la gran importancia de la angio tomografía como métodode diagnóstico así como la alta eficacia de la arteriografía con embolizacion para su resolución.

In recent years successful bronchoscopic management of bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) by locating its site and then blocking the leaking segment with any of the several agents available has gained recognition. It is now considered as an alternate mode of management of BPF. Here we present a case of non-resolving pneumothorax that was managed successfully using bronchoscopic glue (cyanoacrylate glue) instillation.

Broncho-oesophageal fistula is rare and occurs mostly in acquired condition. Report of a new case. We report a case of a 58-years-old woman which has, since 38 years ago, a chronic cough, recurrent bronchopulmonary suppurations and hemoptysis. Clinical examination let to the diagnosis of a broncho-oesophageal fistula. Surgical treatment resulted in complete recovery. There was no evidence of any aetiology. Congenital origin of the fistula was deduced
