Tina C. Wan, Henry Rousseau, Carol Mattern, Madeline Tabor, Matthew R. Hodges, Ramani Ramchandran, Andrew D. SpearmanMedical College of Wisconsin and Children’s Wisconsin.United States Physiological ReportsPhysiol Rep 2024; 12: DOI: 10.14814/phy2.70123 AbstractPulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) universally develop in patients with single ventricle congenital heart disease. Single ventricle PAVMs have been recognized for over 50 years but […]
