  • Title: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations after cavopulmonary anastomosis.
    Author: Duncan BW, Desai S.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2003 Nov; 76(5):1759-66. PubMed ID: 14602341.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are a cause of progressive cyanosis after cavopulmonary anastomosis in children with single ventricle physiology who are on the pathway leading to a Fontan procedure. Investigations into possible mechanisms for the etiology of PAVMs are ongoing and suggest that the liver might play a key regulatory role in the development of these lesions.
