Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are the major cause of progressive cyanosis in patients palliated with bidirectional cavopulmonary connection (BCPC). The aim of our study is to analyze the occurrence of PAVMs in patients after Kawashima procedure, to study the effect of total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) on PAVMs, to evaluate the effect of axillary arteriovenous fistula (AAVF) creation on PAVMs, and to study the risk factors for PAVMs.
