Clinical significance of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after staging bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis

The development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after staging bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis for single ventricle is rare, occurring in just 10 of 372 patients (2.7%) in our series. Resolution of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations was common and was demonstrated in all 9 patient...

Summary:The development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after staging bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis for single ventricle is rare, occurring in just 10 of 372 patients (2.7%) in our series. Resolution of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations was common and was demonstrated in all 9 patients who underwent the Fontan procedure.
