Background: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations have been associated with clinical situations that put life at risk or cause physical disability. When the clinical picture is evident, percutaneous occlusion is recommended. Methods: We describe the use of an Amplatzer vascular plug in a female patient for the treatment of an idiopathic pulmonary arteriovenous malformation associated with syncope and transient ischemic attacks. Results: The patient was successfully treated via percutaneous intervention without complications. At 6 months followup, there was an absence of the pulmonary arteriovenous malformation confirmed via angiotomography and a full reintegration into her daily activities with no-clinical eventualities. Conclusion: The use of an Amplatzer vascular plug should be considered for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. In experienced centers the procedure can be done safely with excellent clinical outcomes.
