A 75-year-old woman was scheduled for the right partial pulmonary resection, because of severe hypoxemia caused by monofocal arteriovenous malformation. Before the operation, we obstructed successfully the shunt flow of arteriovenous malformation by using a balloon of pulmonary artery catheter. The hypoxemia was improved remarkably and we could control anesthesia safely.
