Late desaturation due to giant azygous vein 16 years after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2015
Abstract
We present a rare late manifestation of systemic venous collaterals in a 17-year-old female, 16 years after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis, resulting in clinically unacceptable desaturation with progressive effort intolerance and cyanosis.
