Superselective Arterial Embolization of Arteriovenous Malformation of Internal Pudendal Artery, a Rare Cause of Hematuria: A Case Report

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a common form of vascular malformation, an abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the capillaries. AVM may just present as hematuria without plain or other symptoms. The article presents a case of a 52-year-old male with...

Description
Summary:Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a common form of vascular malformation, an abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the capillaries. AVM may just present as hematuria without plain or other symptoms. The article presents a case of a 52-year-old male with gross hematuria diagnosed as AVM of internal pudendal artery, which was successfully managed with superselective arterial embolization using temporary embolization materials.
