A simple method for excising pulmonary venous obstruction after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
A simple excision of pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) was carried out following a radical operation for total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD, Darling Ia). The results were quite satisfactory. This technique can be performed easily and effectively although hitherto relief of PVO has been considered to be very difficult.
