Severe hypoxemia due to intrapulmonary shunting requiring surgery for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma

Pierre-Emmanuel Falcoz et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma is a rare, but well-known disease that symptomatically worsens with intrapulmonary shunting and consequent hypoxemia. Surgical resection of the involved area offers relief from disabling hypoxemia and may improve survival. We present 3 patients with intrapulmonary shunting.
