Abstract
Surgical results for correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) have improved in the current era. Postrepair pulmonary vein stenosis (PR-PVS) remains a major complication following TAPVC repair, often necessitating multiple reinterventions, and impacting patient outcomes. Considerations for patient and anatomical risk factors, surgical techniques for primary TAPVC repair, as well PR-PVS postoperative surveillance and management will be reviewed. We will also touch on emerging areas of research related to PR-PVS pathogenesis and incorporation of patient-specific simulation for surgical planning in TAPVC.
