Outcomes after stent implantation for the treatment of congenital and postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis in children

Sowmya Balasubramanian, Audrey C. Marshall, Kimberlee Gauvreau, Lynn F. Peng, Alan W. Nugent, James E. Lock, MD, Doff B. McElhinneyChildren’s Hospital Boston.United States Circulation Cardiovascular InterventionsCirc Cardiovasc Int 2012; 5: 109-117DOI: 10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.111.964189 AbstractBackground: Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare condition that can lead to worsening pulmonary hypertension and cardiac failure in children, and it is frequently lethal. Surgical and transcatheter approaches are acutely successful but restenosis is common and rapid.Methods […]

Bilateral disease and early age at presentation are associated with shorter survival in patients with congenital heart disease and intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis

Sowmya Balasubramanian, Maliha Rehman, Kimberlee Gauvreau, Kathy J. JenkinsChildren’s Hospital Boston.United States Congenital Heart DiseaseCongenit Heart Dis 2012; 7: 378-386DOI: 10.1111/j.1747-0803.2012.00647.x AbstractPurpose: Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a progressive disease that is frequently lethal. We have previously identified neoproliferation of myofibroblasts as the mechanism for progressive intraluminal PVS. PVS occurs in association with other congenital heart diseases

In vivo hepatic flow distribution by computational fluid dynamics can predict pulmonary flow distribution in patients with Fontan circulation

Petter Frieberg, Pia Sjöberg, Erik Hedström, Marcus Carlsson, Petru LiubaLund University and Skåne University Hospital.Sweden Scientific ReportsSci Rep 2023; 13:DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-45396-6 AbstractIn Fontan patients, a lung deprived of hepatic blood may develop pulmonary arterio-venous malformations (PAVMs) resulting in shunting, reduced pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and decreased oxygenation. To provide guidance for corrective invasive interventions, we aimed
