Abstract

The diagnostic yield of rescreening children with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia at regular intervals for arteriovenous malformations is unclear. Here, we show that when children with initially negative screening were reassessed after 5 years, no new arteriovenous malformations were detected suggesting that longer intervals between screenings may be adequate.
