    Author: Koide M, Sakai A, Kunii Y, Moriki N, Ayusawa K, Seguchi M, Minakami A.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 2000 Jun; 53(6):460-3. PubMed ID: 10846357.
    Abstract:
    A 3-month-old boy showed pulmonary venous obstruction after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. He was treated with a novel method of stureless in situ pericardium repair. Six weeks after this operation, he showed recurrence of venous obstruction and the same procedure was performed. Another six weeks after this operation, stenosis of the left pulmonary vein necessitated the same procedure again. Although he suffered from pneumonia and died of sepsis, this procedure revealed effectiveness for at least three months. This report showed clinical course after repeated stureless in situ pericardium repair. More experience will be necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure.
