Abstract

A 10-year-old boy with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the right lower limb was scheduled for an amputation of the affected limb. Limb amputation was necessary because of the ineffectiveness of previous sclerotherapy and the rapid progression of AVM causing pain and heart failure. Right hip disarticulation was considered the best option to improve his quality of life. To prevent congestive heart failure and uncontrollable hemorrhage during surgery, the disarticulation was done under a partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient underwent surgery successfully without complications.
