Chung, Ha, Yoon, Kim, Jang, Cho, and Cho: Pulsed Wave and Color Doppler Echocardiography and Cardiac Catheterization Findings in Bilateral Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

Abstract

Pulmonary vein stenosis is a rare condition which is usually congenital in origin and is almost invariably fatal in its bilateral and severe forms. It is often overlooked, however, during clinical examination, routine echocardiography, and even at cardiac catheterization. This report describes pulsed Doppler, color flow echocardiography, and hemodynamic findings of bilateral pulmonary vein stenosis accompanying ventricular septal and atrial septal defects successfully corrected by surgery.
