Prognostic Significance of Computed Tomography Findings in Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
(1) Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) can be a severe, progressive disease with lung involvement. We aimed to characterize findings by computed tomography (CT) and identify factors associated with death; (2) Veins and lung segments were classified into five ...

Congenital Stenosis of Individual Pulmonary Veins [PDF]
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 Associated with Germline PIK3CA Mutation
Pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare and frequently lethal childhood disease. There are few known genetic associations, and the pathophysiology is not well known. Current treatments include surgery, interventional cardiac catheterization, and more recently,

Pulmonary vein stenosis: Challenges ahead [PDF]
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.

Outcomes in Establishing Individual Vessel Patency for Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
The purpose of this study was to determine what patient and pulmonary vein characteristics at the diagnosis of intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) are predictive of individual vein outcomes.

Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis (PVnS) can happen as a focal stenosis at the atrial connection site or complete hypoplasia in one or more of the pulmonary veins. Indeed, the primary form of PVnS with a pathological appearance similar to that in childhood cases has been reported rarely in unoperated adult patients [1, 2].
