Silent unilateral pulmonary venous obstruction. Occurrence after surgical correction of transposition of the great arteries

James E. Lock, Russell V. Lucas, Kurt Amplatz, F. Blanton Bessinger Jr.University of MinnesotaUnited States ChestChest 1978; 73: 224-227DOI:https://doi.org/10.1378/chest.73.2.224 AbstractAn 11-year-old girl was found to have completely obstructed left pulmonary veins eight years following corrective surgery for transposition of the great arteries. The patient was acyanotic and asymptomatic. Retrograde flow of arterial blood from the […]

Primary sutureless repair for simple total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a risk of postoperative pulmonary venous stenosis

Tomomi Hasegawa, Yoshihiro Oshima, Ayako Maruo, Hinonori Matsuhisa, Tasuku Kadowaki, Rei Noda Kobe Children’s Hospital.Japan General Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryGen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2013; 61: 528-530DOI: 10.1007/s11748-012-0188-y AbstractLate mortality following surgical repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is often associated with pulmonary venous stenosis. We describe here two successful cases of primary sutureless repair

Left-side pulmonary vein obstruction after arterial switch operation in infants with D-transposition of the great arteries

Mathias Emmel, I. Bauer, M. Plug, Sabine Schickendantz, U. Mennicken University of Cologne.Germany Pediatric CardiologyPediatr Cardiol 1997; 18: 306-308DOI: 10.1007/s002469900180 AbstractWe describe two cases of left-side pulmonary vein obstruction observed after the arterial switch operation (Jatene) for D-transposition of the great arteries. This appears to be related to left-sided pulmonary vein obstruction occurring coincidently with D-transposition
