Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Newborn: A Commonly Overlooked Diagnosis [PDF]
The diagnosis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis is often overlooked because its symptoms overlap lung diseases and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Its diagnosis may be difficult because the condition is progressive and associated with other defects. We

Asymptomatic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis: Hemodynamic Adaptation and Successful Ablation [PDF]
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a well-established possible complication following an atrial fibrillation ablation of pulmonary veins. Symptoms of pulmonary vein stenosis range from asymptomatic to severe exertional dyspnea.

The pulmonary veins normally drain into the left atrium, with the superior pulmonary veins typically situated anterior and inferior to the right pulmonary arteries. However, anomalies can happen. We encountered an exceedingly rare pulmonary vascular anomaly for a patient presenting with atypical chest pain, where the right superior pulmonary vein ...

Repair of iatrogenic pulmonary vein occlusion with a vascularized atrial flap
Pulmonary vein obstruction is a rare condition, most commonly reported following pulmonary vein catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmia. This novel technique for treatment of pulmonary venous obstruction has the advantage of utilizing an autologous ...
