Reoperations after the correction of partial abnormal venous return: a clinical case series
Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2020 Rationale: The surgical procedure for partial abnormal pulmonary venous return (PAPV) implies the formation of a tunnel between the orifices of the right pulmonary veins and the left atrial cavity with the interatrial septum repair.

Pulmonary vein stenosis presenting as massive hemoptysis, treated with pulmonary veins angioplasty
Clinical Case Reports, 2022 Two patients with history of cardiac ablation presented with massive hemoptysis secondary to pulmonary vein stenosis. They underwent successful pulmonary vein angioplasty and stenting.

Pulmonary vein stenosis and the pathophysiology of “upstream” pulmonary veins
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014 Surgical and catheter-based interventions on pulmonary veins are associated with pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), which can progress diffusely through the "upstream" pulmonary veins. The mechanism has been rarely studied. We used a porcine model of PVS to assess disease progression with emphasis on the potential role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition

Congenital Stenosis of Individual Pulmonary Veins [PDF]
Circulation, 1962 The case is reported of an infant with congenital stenosis of each of the four individual pulmonary veins near the left atrium. The characteristic features were failure to thrive, increasing cyanosis and dyspnea, and death in congestive cardiac failure at 7 months of age. A precordial systolic murmur and an early systolic ejection click were heard; the

Pulmonary vein stenosis: Challenges ahead [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015 In this issue of the Journal, Quinonez and colleagues 1 report their experience with and treatment of 49 patients with pulmonary vein stenosis. This article takes on the very difficult challenge to map out the ‘‘relentless’’ nature of multivessel pulmonary vein stenosis and the multidisciplinary commitments that are required for its treatment.

Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in a Newborn: A Commonly Overlooked Diagnosis
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2015 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

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2023 A 4.5-year-old patient with tricuspid atresia, pulmonary stenosis, bilateral superior vena cava veins with absent innominate vein, and hypoplasia of the left pulmonary artery required a bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. An innominate vein

Asymptomatic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis: Hemodynamic Adaptation and Successful Ablation
Case Reports in Cardiology, 2016 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.

Pulmonary Vein Occlusion and Lung Infarction after Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2020 Background. Pulmonary vein (PV) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective technique for a selected group of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs (Alfudhili et al., 2017).

Children, 2021 Pulmonary vein stenosis is a serious condition characterized by restriction or blockage due to fibrotic tissue ingrowth that develops in the pulmonary veins of infants or children. It is often progressive and can lead to severe pulmonary hypertension and
