Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
, 2002 Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.

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.

Management of Pediatric Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2022 Pediatric intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis has evolved into a chronic illness, with improving survival. Although significant knowledge gaps remain, medical providers have found success in the management of patients with pulmonary vein stenosis using a comprehensive multimodality treatment strategy. This review discusses the core principles employed

, 2014 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].
