Meanings of intrapulmonary shunting in English

All 23 subjects had normal resting contrast echocardiograms without evidence of intracardiac or intrapulmonary shunting.

Within 3 min of exercise termination, the contrast echocardiograms with bubble injection showed no evidence of intrapulmonary shunting.

Although clinically insignificant in this study, increased intrapulmonary shunting with sildenafil may be disadvantageous in some patients after CHD surgery.

Conclusions: These results support the interest of consideration of a surgical resection for highly selected patients presenting with bilateral BAC and severe intrapulmonary shunting.
