Abstract

WEB This is a Web exclusive article. rimary bronchial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an extremely rare congenital disease characterized by enlarged convoluted vessels and anomalous communication between the bronchial artery and pulmonary artery or pulmonary vein (bronchopulmonary shunt). The bronchial arteriography and hemodynamic findings of this condition have been reported [1–3]. To our knowledge, however, primary bronchial AVM diagnosed using reconstructed 3D images of contrast-enhanced MDCT has not been previously described. We report the usefulness of multiphase fusion 3D images (i.e., superimposed display of the arterial and venous phases) of MDCT in one case.
