Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae and cardiomegaly in a patient with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is reported with hemodynamic data. Indicator dye dilution curves showed the expected right-to-left shunt and also revealed the unusual coexistence of a probable bronchial artery to distal pulmonary arterial bed fistula, in effect establishing a bidirectional shunt. The cardiomegaly was considered to be secondary to the left-to-right shunt Partial resection of the fistulae ten years prior to this admission failed to relieve cyanosis and symptoms. Diffuse pulmonary involvement prevented further surgical therapy and medical treatment was recommended. |
