    Abstract:
    Thirty five-year-old man required reoperation, twelve years after radical operation of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (Darling IIb type), because of the clinically apparent pulmonary venous obstruction. The stenosis of ASD was revealed by cineangiocardiography and echocardiography. The fibrous thickening of atrial septal wall and stenosis of ASD were found at the operation. Operating procedure consisted of the enlargement of ASD and cut-back of the atrial septal wall. Postoperative study showed no evidence of stenosis of pulmonary venous return. The patient was discharged well and returned to his job. Late postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction is of particular concern. Usually it occurs within the first few postoperative months. We reported this case because it is rare that pulmonary venous obstruction occurred twelve years after radical operation.
