Never Say Never: The Use of Nitric Oxide in Patients With Obstructed Pulmonary Veins: A Case Report

Victoria Sokoliuk, James A. DiNardo, Morgan L. BrownBoston Children’s Hospital.United States A and A PracticeA A Pract 2019; 12: 205-207DOI: 10.1213/XAA.0000000000000885 AbstractPulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a progressive disease with pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Traditional management of PH with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is typically avoided in PVS patients
