Pulmonary venous obstruction following repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage

HJ Schafers, I Luhmer and H Oelert

Recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction has been reported as a serious late complication following the initial repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. It occurs either as true pulmonary venous obstruction or as stenosis of the retrocardiac anastomosis between the left atrium and pulmonary veins. The 2 patients reported herein demonstrated the typical history and course following stenosis of the retrocardiac anastomosis. Reoperation resulted in complete relief of symptoms. Both patients are well 36 and 17 months after reoperation, demonstrating the favorable prognosis of this lesion.
