Follow-up pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy in evaluating pulmonary arterial embolization were assessed by two cases of pulmonary familial arteriovenous fistula. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula was found for brain abscess in the older brother, and for dyspnea on effort in the younger brother. Pulmonary arterial embolizations were performed. (older brother: 4 times, younger brother: 5 times) Before embolization, pulmonary perfusion scintigram showed pale defect, clear asymmetric perfusion between right and left lung, and clear renal visualization. On the other hand, after the embolization, clear multiple defects agreed with the sites of embolization, and asymmetric pulmonary perfusion and renal visualization disappeared. We conclude that follow-up pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy is useful to evaluate in pulmonary arteriovenous fistula after embolization.
