title: A Novel Hybrid Approach for Balloon Dilation of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Following Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection Repair with Atrial Septal Patching.
abstract: Pulmonary venous obstruction after the repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a serious complication. Transcatheter interventional treatment is a palliative choice to defer the timing of surgery; however, penetrating through the patched atrial septum may be difficult. We report a technique for pulmonary venous obstruction after mixed-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair using balloon dilatation of the pulmonary veins through a novel hybrid approach.
