Özet

Congenital arteriovenous malformations are usually found in the lower extremities, but a chest wall location is extremely rare. Extensive vascular malformations present difficulties for patients because of severe unsightliness and life-threatening bleeding. Surgical planning and therapeutic indications in vascular malformations are still a difficult problem. This report describes the case of a 27-year-old woman with a congenital giant arteriovenous malformation of the left chest wall. Preoperative embolization was planned prior to surgical intervention because of the increased risk of massive bleeding, and the malformation was completely embolized with absolute alcohol.
