title: Emergency stenting of vertical vein in a neonate with obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
abstract: A late preterm newborn baby presented with respiratory distress and increasing cyanosis within 2 hours of birth.

Emergency stenting of the vertical vein was successfully performed at 24 hours of life.
