title: [Clinical contribution to the study of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas].
abstract: Three cases of congenital a-v fistulas of the lung encountered in some 10,000 patients examined are reported. Emphasis is laid on the possibility that the disease may be misinterpreted for a long time and treated wrongly. It is considered that the most significant examination for diagnostic purposes is angiocardiopneumography because even in the rare cases in which it does not reveal the fistula, it shows up its existence by the early visualization of the left heart.
