Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula showing a fall in shunt fraction during exercise

H Maeda, Y Monden, K Nakahara, S Miyoshi and Y Kawashima

A 23-year-old man with pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas of the right middle lobe is described.

We discuss the mechanism of this fall in shunt fraction in this patient during exercise.
