A case of a large leiomyomatous uterus with multiple arteriovenous malformations and subsequent high cardiac output state with severe four chamber cardiac enlargement

Abstract

Highlights Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may be associated with leiomyomas. Uterine AVMs can lead to a high cardiac output state and cardiac dysfunction. Multidisciplinary management of uterine AVMs may prevent high output cardiac failure.

Large uterine arteriovenous malformation successfully treated with combined endovascular treatment and supracervical hysterectomy: A case report

“…Transcatheter arterial embolization aims to minimize invasiveness and preserve fertility, whereas hysterectomy is performed in cases of failed embolization or when the patient has no desire to preserve fertility [ 2 ]. There are only a few case reports of uterine AVM being surgically treated with preoperative embolization [ 4 , 5 ] or intraoperative arterial balloon occlusion [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ].…”
