- ArticleLock JE, Lucas RV, Amplatz K, Bessinger FB.Chest. 1978 Feb;73(2):224-7.An 11-year-old girl was found to have completely obstructed left pulmonary veins eight years following corrective surgery for transposition of the great arteries. The patient was acyanotic and asymptomatic. Retrograde flow of arterial blood from the affected left lung accounted for an angiographic appearance that mimicked occlusion of the left pulmonary artery and resulted from a failure of systemic venous development. Pulmonary venous anatomy could only be demonstrated by pulmonary arterial wedge angiographic studies. This experience emphasizes that complete unilateral pulmonary venous obstruction may occur in an asymptomatic patient and underlines the importance of investigating pulmonary venous anatomy in any patient with gross inequality of the distribution of pulmonary blood flow.
