It is associated with variable form of Pulmonary artery hypertension. Catheter based inter- vention 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.

Introduction Primary Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) occurs due to developmental aberra- tions in the incorporation of pulmonary veins into left atrial wall. It is a very rare anomaly and is present in 0.5% of autopsy in children. It may manifest as iso- lated lesion or associated with other cardiac defects (more than 50% of cases). Though the catheter based interventions like balloon dilation, stent insertion, excision of stenotic segment, patch grafting are used to correct such stenotic le- sions, the re-stenosis rates are higher than the sutureless surgical management. We present a case, who underwent surgical sutureless repair for left side primary pulmonary vein (LSPV) stenosis and had an uneventful post operative recovery with no residual stenosis. 2.
