Transhepatic portal vein access for balloon dilation of right upper pulmonary vein stenosis following infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage repair

Aphrodite Tzifa, Irfan Ahmed, Eric Rosenthal Evelina Children’s Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital.United Kingdom Catheterization and Cardiovascular InterventionsCatheter Cardiovasc Interv 2011; 78: 698-701DOI: 10.1002/ccd.22906 AbstractTranshepatic cardiac catheterization is now a well-established alternative when conventional venous routes for cardiac access have failed. Some operators prefer this route even routinely, due to the direct access that

Surgical management of post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis

Edward J. Hickey, Christopher A. Caldarone Hospital for Sick Children.Canada Seminars in Thoracic and Gardiovascular Surgery PediatricsSemin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Pediatr 2011; 14: 101-108DOI: 10.1053/j.pcsu.2011.01.007 AbstractObstructed pulmonary venous drainage – either in association with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, congenital stenosis, or post-repair stenosis – is associated with poor outcome. Post-repair stenosis typically involves fibrotic scar
