Development of pulmonary arteriovenous shunt after superior vena cava-right pulmonary artery (Glenn) anastomosis. Report of four cases.
Four patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease who had previously undergone superior vena cava-right pulmonary artery (Glenn) anastomosis developed pulmonary arteriovenous malformations that resulted in significant intrapulmonary right-to-left shunting.

In this article, we describe a 12-year-old boy with PIL that led to protein-losing enteropathy characterized by diarrhea, hypoalbuminemia associated with edema (serum albumin level: 1.0 g/dL), and hypogammaglobulinemia (s...
متن کاملExperience with Anastomosis of Superior Vena Cava to Pulmonary Artery ( Glenn Procedure )
CERTAIN CHILDREN with cardiac malformations and inereasing eyanosis require immediate palliation. They cannot wait until they reach the minimum body size required for a safe corrective operation with perfusion or until a corrective procedure is devised for their lesions. Systemic artery to pulmonary artery anastomosis has provided palliation for many of these patients. Anatomical findings, howe...
