Diameters of the Pulmonary Arteries and Veins as an Indicator of Bilateral and Unilateral Pulmonary Blood Flow in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Our data suggest that the size of PVs in patients with congenital heart disease may be more useful than the size of PAs to indicate bilateral and unilateral PBF than the size of PAs. Differences in PV area of each lung may be a suitable indicator of discrepancy in blood flow to each lung.
