Description
Daniel van den Heuvel and six co-authors follow patients after a vessel repair in the lung, in a paper dated 2026. The repair seals a malformed link between a lung artery and vein by packing it with coils. The question is whether the seal lasts, since reopened links can let clots reach the brain.
The study covers 50 patients with 75 fresh malformations treated from 2018 to 2021, all with one coil type. Scans at six months found about thirteen percent of the malformations still open, rising to about seventeen percent by three years. Reopening of the coil pack explained most failures. Technical success was near total and no serious harms occurred. Some patients needed a second procedure. The three-year data set a fair bar for newer devices.
