Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations in Heterotaxy Syndrome

We report a surgical approach using hepatic vein–to–azygos vein connection without cardiopulmonary bypass or deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in a patient with heterotaxy syndrome and interrupted inferior vena cava with persistence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) after previous Fontan completion. We advocate early performance of hepatic vein–to–azygos vein connection following the Kawashima operation for heterotaxy with functionally univentricular heart and interrupted inferior vena cava. We review the physiology of heterotaxy syndrome with congenital heart disease and justify our approach in the context of a review of previous surgical strategies used in this patient population.
