Intestinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and is difficult to diagnose. Selective visceral angiography is essential to make the diagnosis and to localize the lesion. We treated two patients in whom AVMs of the small intestine were located by means of arteriography and intraoperative selective mesenteric venous pressure and PO2 measurements. The local venous return from an intestinal AVM is characterized by elevated venous pressure and PO2 levels compared with the venous drainage of adjacent normal intestine.

D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
