Transcatheter management of obstructed baffle repairs of partial anomalous pulmonary veins: a case series.

Given the subtle symptomatology of obstructed PAPVR pericardial baffle repairs, surveillance imaging is necessary to detect occluded baffles and intervene before downstream right heart disease and pulmonary hypertension develops. Given the high rates of re-stenosis in pulmonary vein stenting, pre-treatment of occluded PAPVR baffles with drug-coated balloons may help reduce re-intervention rates.
