Pulmonary venous stenosis as an associated manifestation of left-sided obstructive lesions in an infant with partial atrioventricular canal defect.

Abstract

Patients with partial atrioventricular canal defect (PAVC) who present with congestive heart failure within the first year of life are usually found to have associated left-sided obstructive lesions. We present a case of a child with PAVC who subsequently developed progressive pulmonary venous stenosis as a manifestation of her disease.
