Congenital fistula between an aberrant systemic artery and a pulmonary vein without sequestration. A report of three cases.
Three children had an arteriovenous fistula between an aberrant vessel from the descending aorta and a normal pulmonary vein in the posterior basal segment of a lung. The affected lung was otherwise normally developed. Only a few similar cases could be found in the literature.
