Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by mucocutaneous and visceral telangiectasia. Hepatic involvement with vascular malformations may lead to portal hypertension, biliary ischemia, and high-output cardiac failure. Liver transplantation is indica
unclear, and further experience in a clinical trial setting is required to clarify this. Lastly, it is exciting to ponder that vascular endothelial growth factor antagonists may have a role in reducing symptoms in the substantial number of HHT patients who are symptomatic but do not require liver tr
Experience with hepatic artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic hepatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is limited. We report 2 cases of hepatic AVMs that caused mesenteric angina-like symptoms that were treated with embolization. Both patients developed
