Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with dysmorphic pulmonary vein: a risk for postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction

Makoto Ando, Yukihiro Takahashi, Toshio KikuchiSakakibara Heart Institute.Japan Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic SurgeryInteract Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2004; 3: 557-561DOI: 10.1016/j.icvts.2004.06.004 AbstractPulmonary venous obstruction after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection remains potential and understanding of its mechanisms is warranted. Morphology of the pulmonary vein was qualitatively analyzed in 48 consecutive patients undergoing repair of non-isomeric […]
