Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunts in patients with and without sudden unexplained infant death. We identified open intrapulmonary bronchopulmonary anastomoses as potential pathways for right-to-left shunt in a subset of infants with sudden unexplained infant death.
