Abstract |
The evolution of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) over time in children with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is not well-defined. Herein we demonstrate that, although new PAVMs did not evolve in children with HHT, existing PAVMs exhibit quantitative growth over time highlighting the need for ongoing follow-up throughout childhood.
