Abstract
Paclitaxel-eluting balloons are a new and innovative method in the treatment of in-stent stenosis and small vessel disease in adult cardiac pathology. The treatment of congenital pulmonary vein stenosis is difficult to manage, and results in a high mortality rate due to residual or recurrent stenosis. We report the first case of treatment for neonatal pulmonary vein restenosis with a paclitaxel-eluting balloon.
