AbstractPulmonary arteriovenous fistulae after a cavopulmonary anastomosis have been reported to resolve after hepatic venous return is included in the pulmonary circulation. We report a case in which the hepatic veins were redirected to the pulmonary circulation by connecting them directly to the azygous continuation of the inferior vena cava that had previously been connected to the right pulmonary artery. The patient's arterial saturation of 71% increased to 92% after 6 months.
