Summary

The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot study using biologic agents Avastin and Gleevec to treat progression of multivessel intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis in children.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria: (Both groups)

  • Evidence of intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis in > 1 vessel
  • Evidence of myofibroblast neo-proliferation, if biopsies were obtained
  • Acceptable organ function includes:

Creatinine or = 1,500/mm3, Hemoglobin > or = 10g/dl, Platelets > or = 100,000/mm3.

Group A Eligibility Criteria: (begin treatment with Gleevec® only)

  • Significant concomitant congenital heart defect
  • Disease severity for each vessel Category 5 or lower or Category 6 or 7 in no more than 1 vessel

Group B Eligibility Criteria: (begin treatment with Gleevec® and Avastin®)

  • Primary PVS (i.e. without concomitant congenital heart defect or lung disease)
  • Significant concomitant lung disease
  • Patients with PVS and underlying CHD who have category 6 or 7 disease in at least 2 of their pulmonary veins even after surgical or cath-based interventions.
  • Accepted organ function includes:

Urine protein < 1
