Purpose (Desired Learning Outcome) 

As a result of participating in this activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Apply evidence-based strategies for the management of pulmonary artery and vein disease, incorporating data from recent guidelines and expert consensus statements.
  2. Differentiate disease phenotypes and risk factors that influence decision-making for biventricular versus single-ventricle repair in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum.
  3. Evaluate and select appropriate surgical, percutaneous, and hybrid approaches for both primary and recurrent pulmonary vein disease.
  4. Integrate multidisciplinary perspectives from cardiology, surgery, and imaging to improve diagnostic precision and procedural outcomes.
  5. Implement standardized care pathways and follow-up strategies to enhance consistency, reduce complications, and improve long-term survival in patients with congenital pulmonary vascular disease.
