Embolic insults account for a significant number of neurologic sequelae following
many routine surgical procedures. Clearly, these post-intervention embolic events
are a serious public health issue as they are potentially life altering. However,
the pathway these emboli utilize to bypass the pulmonary microcirculatory sieve
in patients without an intracardiac shunt such as an atrial septal defect or
patent foramen ovale, remains unclear. In the absence of intracardiac routes and
large diameter pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, inducible large diameter
intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses in otherwise healthy adult humans may
prove to be the best explanation. Our group and others have demonstrated that
inducible large diameter intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses are closed at
rest but can open during hyperdynamic conditions such as exercise in more than
90% of healthy humans. Furthermore, the patency of these intrapulmonary
anastomoses can be modulated through the fraction of inspired oxygen and by body
positioning. Of particular clinical interest, there appears to be a strong
association between arterial hypoxemia and neurologic insults, suggesting a
breach in the filtering ability of the pulmonary microvasculature under these
conditions. In this review, we present evidence demonstrating the existence of
inducible intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses in healthy humans that are
modulated by exercise, oxygen tension and body positioning. Additionally, we
identify several clinical conditions associated with both arterial hypoxemia and
an increased risk for embolic insults. Finally, we suggest some precautionary
measures that should be taken during interventions to keep intrapulmonary
arteriovenous anastomoses closed in order to prevent or reduce the incidence of
paradoxical embolism.
