摘要：

A 68-year-old man with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia presented with recurrent, intermittent gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Transfusion of a total of 27 units of red blood cells was required over the three months before admission. Upper and lower endoscopy did not reveal a source of bleeding and a technetium, labelled red blood cell scan was noncontributory. Angiography demonstrated a duodenal arteriovenous malformation originating from a superior mesenteric artery branch. Embolization of the arteriovenous malformation was performed with resolution of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and reduced requirement for blood transfusion. The utility of transcatheter embolization in the management of duodenal arteriovenous malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is discussed.
