Fig 1 (A) Pulmonary venous angiogram: superior and inferior right and inferior left pulmonary vein opacification was immediate, although the superior left pulmonary vein opacification was slow, showing the small size of this vessel. (B) Perfusion scan demonstrated decreased perfusion of the left upper lobe. (C) Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed pulmonary artery (PA) diameter three times larger than aorta (Ao) diameter; the right superior pulmonary vein (PV) was clearly visualized, although the left superior vein was not visualized. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed without anesthetizing the infant and without cardiac gating. (LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (02) )
