Abstract
We present the case of a 2-year-old girl with congenital stenosis of the left inferior pulmonary vein associated with a large perimembranous ventricular septal defect. The child underwent repair of the left inferior pulmonary vein with autologous left atrial appendage as a pedicled tube, followed by closure of the ventricular septal defect. Important technical steps to minimize the restenosis rate are highlighted.
