title: Long-term observation of a case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula with pulmonary hypertension.
abstract: A case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) with pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurring in an adult woman is described. Resection of PAVF was not performed and she has been followed up for 5 years, receiving repeated right cardiac catheterization. We discuss the causal relationship of PH and the development of PAVF.
