Summary

A child with anomalous hepatic venous drainage and atrial septal defect developed pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Surgery resolved malformations but led to unexpected pulmonary hypertension.

Left Main Bronchus Stenosis Leading to Bronchiectasis and Pulmonary Hypertension- Relieved by Stent Placement.

Pediatric pulmonology·2025

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Congenital heart defects involving abnormal venous connections can lead to complex hemodynamic alterations.
  • Sinus venosus atrial septal defects are often associated with anomalous pulmonary venous return.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old boy presented with anomalous hepatic venous drainage into the left atrium and a sinus venosus atrial septal defect.
  • Progressive cyanosis developed due to the emergence of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.

Findings:

  • Surgical correction involving redirection of hepatic venous flow to the right atrium and closure of the atrial septal defect resulted in regression of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
  • Postoperatively, the patient developed progressive pulmonary hypertension, a finding not commonly reported in similar cases.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare postoperative complication following surgical correction of anomalous hepatic venous drainage and atrial septal defect.
  • Further investigation is warranted to understand the mechanisms underlying the development of pulmonary hypertension in this context.
