Regression of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations after Transcatheter Reconnection of the Pulmonary Arteries in Patients with Unidirectional Fontan

Abstract

Patients with unidirectional Fontan and PAVM demonstrate increased oxygen saturations following reconnection of PAs, suggesting regression of PAVM. This procedure can be performed safely using uncovered stents, and it is effective in improving systemic oxygen saturations.
