Congenital pulmonary vein stenosis (CPVS) is a rare fatal congenital cardiovascular defect and its operative mortality is very high. A 6-year-old boy presented with bilateral congenital pulmonary vein stenosis complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension and mitral in-sufficiency. A successful angioplasty in combination with mitral valvuloplasty was performed for pulmonary veins with living autologous atrial tissue and sutureless in situ pericardium.
Key words: pulmonary vein stenosis; congenital heart disease; surgery
