Abstract

Background

Currently, the treatment outcomes for complex congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remain unsatisfactory. This article reports on the utilization of an abdominal aortic stent graft, in conjunction with embolization techniques, for managing acute heart failure triggered by complex congenital arteriovenous malformations in the lower limb.

Case Presentation

We present a case involving a patient with congenital AVMs in the lower limb, who had suffered from prolonged swelling in the left lower limb and recently developed symptoms of heart failure. At the age of 67, the patient was definitively diagnosed with a complex congenital AVMs in the lower limb. This article delves into the practical experiences and limitations encountered in employing an abdominal aortic stent graft, coupled with embolization, to address acute heart failure caused by complex congenital AVMs in the lower limb.

Conclusions

Our article presents the initial report on the challenges and limitations encountered in treating acute heart failure triggered by complex congenital AVMs in the lower limb, utilizing a combination of abdominal aortic stent graft placement and embolization techniques.

Medication non-adherence is a major barrier to effective healthcare delivery; half of all patients do not follow their doctor’s recommendations or treatment plan.

Our experts explain the fundamentals with a practical discussion of how to manage non-adherence in two common scenarios: hypertension and asthma control.
