Abstract:
A 2-month-old infant presenting with failure to thrive was found to have right upper and right lower pulmonary vein atresia and underwent 2 failed transcatheter recanalization attempts. A hybrid intervention including pulmonary vein identification, ostial resection, venoplasty, and intraoperative stent placement is described and 2.5 years of subsequent follow-up is presented.
