Abstract
Four patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease who had previously undergone superior vena cava-right pulmonary artery (Glenn) anastomosis developed pulmonary arteriovenous malformations that resulted in significant intrapulmonary right-to-left shunting. This abnormality was documented by selective angiography, oximetry, and contrast echocardiogrphy. It may be a major cause of late clinical deterioration in patients treated with the Glenn anastomosis.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
