Highlights
- Bilateral pulmonary vein atresia is an extremely rare congenital heart disease.
Resume
Pulmonary vein atresia is a rare congenital heart defect with a high morbidity and mortality rate. This condition develops due to abnormal connections between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium. Congenital heart defect has a poor prognosis and patients die due to secondary pulmonary hypertension, hemoptysis, pulmonary edema or congestive heart failure. We report a rare case of a newborn with anomaly of pulmonary venous return: bilateral pulmonary vein aplasia.
