Abstract
A patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and diffuse intrahepatic arteriovenous fistulas developed secondary high-output ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension. A serial staged hepatic arterial coil embolization was performed with long-term resultant haemodynamic and clinical improvement. The methods of this procedure and related complications are discussed.
