ABSTRACT

Primary left pulmonary vein stenosis is a very rare condition. It is associated with variable form of Pulmonary artery hypertension. Catheter based intervention is used to treat the disease like balloon dilation and stenting but this has high recurrence rate. Here is a case in which we did a sutureless repair of left pulmonary vein thus decreasing the possibility of recurrence. Sutureless surgical management is technically superior and less challenging than direct left atrial wall anastomosis and it provides better results than catheter based intervention in terms of recurrence of stenosis.
