| Abstract: | This report describes the first Australian experience with the Micro Vascular Plug System (MVP), as a permanent embolic device for the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs). MVPs deployed in small vessels between 2 mm and 5 mm are demonstrated to be feasible, safe and effective treatment for PAVMs. |
