This is called a shunt. One that occur between the Pulmonary artery and the Pulmonary vein, would be a left to right shunt. So what would happen? The blood from the Pulmonary vein (having the high pressure) would enter the Pulmonary artery. The results would be that the blood just goes back to the lung for another cycle with be deoxygenated.
