  • Title: Resolution of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula by redirection of hepatic venous blood.
    Author: Ichikawa H, Fukushima N, Ono M, Kita T, Matsushita T, Miyamoto Y, Matsuda H.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 May; 77(5):1825-7. PubMed ID: 15111200.
    Abstract:
    We report an 8-year-old girl whose unilateral pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) disappeared after we redirected hepatic venous blood to the affected lung. This case provides strong evidence that formation of a PAVF depends only on the presence or absence of hepatic venous blood in the pulmonary circulation.
