High output heart failure caused by extensive arteriovenous malformation: problems and pregnancy

Abstract: ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION (AVM) OCCURRING IN ASSOCIATION WITH SOFT TISSUE AND SKELETAL HYPERTROPHY FORMS THE BASIS OF THE PARKES WEBER SYNDROME: a rare congenital angio-osteohypertrophy condition with no obvious racial, gender or geographic preference. Usually in the lower limbs, the AVM can result in a dilated cardiomyopathy due to a high output cardiac state. We describe the case of a 21-year-old woman with an extensive AVM affecting one leg, which included the pelvic vasculature. The case concerns assessme… Show more

“…Fifteen (31.3%) cases had high-output heart failure due to significant AV shunting. 13,21,24,26,29,30,33,34,38,41,48,49 There was no significant gender predominance (female-male ratio: 1:1), whereas 10 (66.7%) cases were 16 years of age or less. Moreover, a half of cases with upper limb involvement (3/6) were reported to have high-output heart failure, and more than one-fourth of cases (12/42) with affected lower limb developed high-output heart failure.…”

“…This distinction is important as it may lead to high-output cardiac failure. 6 Like PPV, the origin of most cases of KTWS is not fully understood and both familial and sporadic cases have been described. It has been hypothesized that vascular development is affected by a defect in the mesoderm.…”

“…Hormonal changes are thought to stimulate AVM progression, 3 and recurrent hemorrhage in women with extracranial AVM of various stage due to AVM progression may occur during or after pregnancies 1,5,6 . However, there is limited information on the clinical course of pregnancy in advanced‐stage AVMs 3,7 …”
