Atresia of Right Pulmonary Veins with Intact Atrial Septum and Major Aorto-Pulmonary Collateral Treated with Percutaneous Stent Implantation and Embolization

Unilateral pulmonary vein (PV) atresia is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with evolution toward irreversible pulmonary hypertension. Pneumonectomy or lung transplant is currently the treatment of choice for such a disease. We describe an unusual case of right PV atresia and major aorto‐pulmon...

Summary:Unilateral pulmonary vein (PV) atresia is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with evolution toward irreversible pulmonary hypertension. Pneumonectomy or lung transplant is currently the treatment of choice for such a disease. We describe an unusual case of right PV atresia and major aorto‐pulmonary collaterals treated with percutaneous angioplasty, stent implantation, and aorto‐pulmonary collateral embolization.
