Pulmonary vein wedge angiography was applied to two patients of 2 years old TOF with PFO. Left pulmonary artery was not visualized by standard right ventriculogram and catheter was not entered into main pulmonary artery. Through PFO and left atrium, pulmonary vein wedge angiography at left lower pulmonary vein was done. The ipsilateral pulmonary artery & its trees in both cases and the contralateral pulmonary artery in one case were well visualized. Dangerous complication, such as massive bronchoconstriction due to extravasation of contrast material into the bronchus, was not developed. Mild coughing was occurred, but well tolerable in both cases. We recommended a dose of 0.8 mL/Kg of contrast material at a rate of 2 to 3 mL/sec and 1 to 2 mL/Kg of flush solution at the same rate by the hand, and routine use of pulmonary vein wedge angiography in cyanotic patients whose pulmonary artery was not visualized by the standard angiography.
