%X Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), though a relatively uncommon occurrence (1,2), is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if not recognized and treated promptly. In adults PVS is often secondary to infiltration/extrinsic compression by a mediastinal or lung process. More recently, the increased use of catheter-based ablation therapy for treatment of atrial fibrillation has led to a new cohort of patients with PVS. Radiologists play an important role in the identification and evaluation of PVS, however this requires an understanding of the patient population at risk, the direct and indirect imaging findings of PVS on cross-sectional imaging, as well as relevant information in the treatment of this condition
