Interventions for Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

Interventional Cardiology Clinics
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare and unique disease of infants and young children. PVS is attended by high morbidity and mortality, and for many decades, effective therapy eluded the practitioner. However, in the most recent era, interventional techniques when employed in combination with systemic (primary) therapy have had a remarkable impact ...

The pulmonary veins in mitral stenosis

Journal of the Faculty of Radiologists, 1958
Summary Engorgement of the upper lobe veins and narrowing of lower lobe veins are demonstrated in patients with mitral stenosis. Grading of engorgement of the upper lobe veins is discussed, and its h˦modynamic significance is investigated. The radiological observations are explained by a new hypothesis.

Stenosis of pulmonary veins in Down syndrome

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1992
ABSTRACT Two patients with Down syndrome, intracardiac communications and elevated pulmonary arteriolar resistance presented early in life. Both patients had significant stenosis of pulmonary veins. The progressive nature of the stenosis is illustrated in one patient. Pulmonary venous stenosis in Down syndrome has been recorded only twice before in the

Congenital localized stenosis of the pulmonary veins

Pediatric Radiology, 1975
One case of localized stenosis of the extrapulmonary portion of pulmonary veins is reported in a 3 years old child. The chest X-Ray showed a rounded and pulsatile opacification over the right hilum and on angiocardiography the right superior pulmonary vein looked very dilated.

Morphologic features of stenosis of the pulmonary veins

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988
Abstract Congenital stenosis of the pulmonary veins is a rare abnormality causing progressive pulmonary hypertension and cardiac failure in childhood. 1 Prognosis is generally bleak despite attempts at surgical repair 2,3 and, more recently, transvenous balloon dilatation. 4,5 Initial relief has usually been followed by recurrence.

Stenosis of the Individual Pulmonary Veins

Radiology, 1966
In the evaluation of patients with pulmonary hypertension, the etiology is usually apparent: in most instances, it is acquired or congenital heart disease, pulmonary disease, etc. A small group of cases in which the cause is not readily apparent, however, are usually termed “idiopathic.” Such would have been the diagnosis in a 6-year-old boy seen by ...

Pulmonary vein stenosis: future optimism

Current Opinion in Cardiology
Purpose of review Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare disease with high morbidity and mortality. Prevention of restenosis remains challenging. This review will highlight recent advances in therapy that are beginning to show a survival benefit.

Pulmonary Vein Atresia with Severe Contralateral Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Child

Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia is a very rare congenital anomaly associated with high morbidity and mortality. Most cases present in infancy or childhood with recurrent respiratory infections or hemoptysis. Further, the diagnosis can often be difficult to make.

Repair of congenital and acquired pulmonary vein stenosis

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare cause of obstruction of pulmonary venous blood flow with a high mortality. Acquired pulmonary vein stenosis is an equally serious condition.Eight patients (age range, 3 months to 43 years; median age, 1.5 years) underwent surgical relief of pulmonary vein stenosis. Two had congenital pulmonary vein stenosis,
