Formation of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas or malformations due to superior cavopulmonary anastomosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/979061106

A cardiovascular malformation in which there is an abnormal intrapulmonary direct connection between a pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein without an intervening capillary bed that forms secondary to a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. This is observed more frequently when there is reduced hepatic flow to the lungs.
