[Congenital stenosis of pulmonary veins: long-term efficacy after intraluminal dilatation]

Fernando Benito BartoloméHospital Infantil La Paz.Spain Revista Española CardiologíaRev Esp Cardiol 2001; 54: 1111-1112DOI: 10.1016/s0300-8932(01)76459-7 AbstractWe present a 7-month-old infant diagnosed with congenital pulmonary vein stenosis. Cardiac catheterization showed two sequential stenoses of the superior left pulmonary vein and balloon angioplasty was performed. The gradient decreased from 20 to 4 mmHg and pulmonary artery pressure from
