Abstract

A 3-month-old infant with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary hypertension presented at our center. Cardiac catheterization showed a systolic pulmonary-to-systemic arterial pressure ratio of 0.99 and a pulmonary vascular resistance of 9.32 μm2. Pulmonary angiography showed focal orifice stenosis in the right lower and left lower and upper pulmonary veins, whereas the right upper pulmonary vein was atretic. Sutureless pericardial marsupialization concomitant with VSD patch closure was used to repair the three stenotic veins. Administration of home oxygen therapy and sildenafil citrate was continued after surgical repair. Postoperative catheterization 1.5 years after surgery showed patency of the three repaired veins and normalization of pulmonary vascular resistance.
