Diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are defined as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) involving subsegmental, segmental, or both types of arteries in at least 1 lung lobe and are more extensive than multiple PAVMs. Diffuse PAVMs involving systemic arterial shunts are very rare. We describe a rare case, in which diffuse PAVMs involving systemic arterial shunts were successfully treated with coil embolization.
