Abstract

A newborn girl with progressive respiratory distress and cyanosis was found to have severely obstructed supracardiac total pulmonary venous return (TAPVR). Stenting of the stenosis provided immediate and effective relief of the obstruction until corrective surgery was performed. Catheter intervention should be considered in high-risk infants with obstructed supracardiac TAPVR as part of the strategy for preoperative cardiovascular stabilization
