    The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of transcatheter embolization (TCE) for pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) over 21 years.

  • 2

    A total of 28 patients with 41 PAVFs underwent TCE, achieving a procedural success rate of 100% and an immediate complete occlusion rate of 87.8%.

  • 3

    Postoperative arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) significantly increased from 84.1% to 92.0% (P < 0.001) after TCE.

  • 4

    During follow-up, 7.14% of patients developed fever and 3.57% developed pleural effusion, with one case of reperfusion in the ADO II group.

  • 5

    The study concluded that various occluders can enhance occlusion success rates, demonstrating TCE's high safety and efficacy for PAVFs.
