Br J Radiol. 2004 May;77(917):445-8. doi: 10.1259/bjr/80737867.

Abstract

We report a case of small pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae precisely diagnosed by a combination of selective pulmonary arteriography and scintigraphy during (99)Tc(m)-macroaggregated albumin injection via the peripheral pulmonary artery.
