A 46-year-old female with bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas was treated with Gianturco coil occlusion. The small right lung fistula was closed with a 6 mm coil, whereas the huge left lung fistula was occluded with three coils (one 10-mm and two 8-mm). Angiography 3 d later demonstrated recanalization of the left fistula. Two 8 mm coils were inserted to achieve complete obstruction again. She developed pulmonary infarction in the left lung 2 d later, which recovered without sequelae. We conclude that coil embolization for huge pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is feasible but may result in pulmonary infarction.
