Visualization of pulmonary vein obstruction by pulmonary artery wedge injection

Roberta M. Bini, Lionel M. Bargeron JrUniversity of Alabama, Birmingham.United States Pediatric CardiologyPediatr Cardiol 1982; 2: 161-162DOI: 10.1007/BF02424953 AbstractOne of the major postoperative complications of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is obstruction of the pulmonary veins. This event may be apparent immediately after surgery when it is usually due to congenitally obstructed veins or later when
