Pulmonary Vein Stenosis-Evolving Surgical Management of a Challenging Disease

Eric N. Feins, Ryan Callahan, Christopher W. Baird Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.United States ChildrenChildren 2021; 8: DOI: 10.3390/children8080631 AbstractPulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an extremely challenging clinical problem in congenital heart disease. It has traditionally required multimodal therapy given its complex underlying pathophysiology. As with other modalities, surgical therapy has undergone tremendous evolution
