title: Hybrid Approach for Recanalization and Stenting of Acquired Pulmonary Vein Occlusion.
abstract: A 5-year-old child with a Fontan circulation presented with acquired left pulmonary vein occlusion related to a previous surgical repair. We managed this lesion using a hybrid technique to perforate, dilate and stent the obstructed vessel. This approach should be considered when percutaneous access to the pulmonary veins is challenging (such as in a Fontan circulation). It also avoids the need for a high-risk redo sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass procedure.
