Anesthetic Care for a Patient with a Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Undergoing Brain Abscess Removal and Pulmonary Lobectomy: A case report

Abstract

The serious complications of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) are hypoxia, dyspnea, hemothorax, cerebrovascular accident, and brain abscess due to an intrapulmonary right to left shunt. We report no anesthetic complications intraoperatively or postoperatively in a 40-year-old male with PAVM who underwent brain abscess removal and pulmonary lobectomy without specific invasive monitoring.
