چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com clinical manifestations depends on the amount of collateral blood flow and the presence of an associated congenital heart defect [3]. Unilateral PVA has been reported in children and adult patients [3,4]. A particular condition of unilateral pulmonary vein atresia with atresia of the contralateral upper pulmonary vein in a child who died at the age of 5 was published [5]. In the present report, we describe the case of a unilateral PVA with contralateral upper pulmonary vein atresia in an adult patient.

We describe the clinicopathological features of a case of total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (TAPVD) associated with atresia of the common pulmonary vein (ACPV). A male Japanese infant born at 37 weeks of gestation demonstrated apnea and severe respiratory acidosis immediately after delivery.

متن کاملHemodynamic Change in Pulmonary Vein Stenosis after Radiofrequency Ablation: Assessment with Magnetic Resonance Angiography
We present a case of pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis after radio-frequency (RF) ablation, in which a hemodynamic change in the pulmonary artery was similar to that of congenital PV atresia on time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (TR-MRA). A 48-year-old man underwent RF ablation due to atrial fibrillation. The patient subsequently complained of hemoptysis, dyspnea on exert...
متن کاملIndividual Pulmonary Vein Atresia in Adults: Report of Two Cases
We present two cases of individual pulmonary vein atresia without vestige of an involved pulmonary vein. On CT, we noted the absence or interruption of normal pulmonary venous structures, and the presence of abnormal vascular structures that represented collaterals for the involved lung parenchyma. On angiography, the atretic pulmonary vein was found to drain into the other ipsilateral pulmonar...
