Abstract

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in patients with congenital heart disease have been associated with interruption of hepatic venous return to the lungs. We report a novel technique to improve systemic saturation using a modified covered stent in a patient with unilateral left pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in the setting of a Fontan circulation.
