SummaryHorseshoe lung is an exceedingly rare congenital malformation, characterized by unilateral pulmonary hypoplasia together with a midline isthmus producing fusion of the tissues of the lower lobes. It is frequently associated with other cardiac and extracardiac anomalies. We report an infant with a variant of the horseshoe lung with partial anomalous venous connection of intracardiac type, ventricular septal defect, and persistent left superior caval vein. There was no pulmonary hypoplasia.

SummaryWe report a case of right aortic arch and isolation of the left brachiocephalic artery. Stenosis of the left pulmonary artery, ventricular septal defect and left superior caval vein draining to the right atrium via the coronary sinus were also present in a 13-month-old asymptomatic girl with Down's syndrome. To our knowledge, this association of lesions has not previously been described.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Although the occurrence of bilateral superior caval veins (SCVs) is not unusual, persistence of the left SCV with atretic right SCV is extremely uncommon in the setting of normal visceroatrial arrangement. We report such a case that was also associated with anomalous pulmonary venous connection of the right pulmonary veins to the solitary left SCV.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Purpose:When there is partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior caval vein, intracardiac repair alone can result in obstruction. Although the Warden procedure involving translocation of the superior caval vein is commonly performed as an alternative to atriocavoplasty, follow-up of a larger number of patients in the modern era is lacking. We report and discuss the experience of a single institution with the Warden procedure for correction of partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior caval vein.Methods:Since 1995, all 16 patients presenting with partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior caval vein underwent the Warden procedure at a mean age of 7.1 ± 4.2 years, with a range from 0.2 to 14.3 years, and a mean weight of 24.7 ± 14.0 kg, with a range from 4.1 to 52.9 kg. There were 9 males and 7 females. In 8 patients, we performed 10 concomitant procedures, including closure of an atrial or ventricular septal defect in 7, and advancement of the aortic arch in the other.Results:There were no deaths, and only one episode of postoperative sinus bradycardia with intermittent junctional rhythm, which resolved spontaneously during temporary atrial pacing. All patients were discharged home in normal sinus rhythm at an average of 4.1 ± 2.2 days after the procedure, with a range from 2 to 10 days. All are currently in the first grade of the New York Heart Association up to 5.6 years postoperatively. There is currently no evidence of sinus nodal dysfunction, nor obstruction of the superior caval vein, in any patient.Conclusion:The Warden procedure for partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior caval vein produces excellent results, preserves the function of the sinus node, and should be routinely considered for the repair of this lesion.

AbstractBiatrial drainage of the right superior caval vein is an extremely rare cardiac anomaly that generally presents in childhood. We present a case of anomalous connection of the right superior caval vein with superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return in a 5-month-old male presenting with unexplained cyanosis and hypoxia.

Thoracotomy Incision

AbstractWe present a case of a 31-year-old male with a large atrial septal defect, who was found to have interrupted inferior caval vein with azygous continuation to the superior caval vein, which precluded transcutaneous closure by device. The defect was successfully closed with a 33 mm Occlutech Figula septal occluder using a sub-mammary small thoracotomy incision and per-atrial approach without using cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was discharged home after 48 hours of procedure.

Ventricular septal defect is the commonest congenital malformation and many are small and close spontaneously. Significant ventricular septal defects require closure in infancy. Long-term outcome is excellent.

AbstractTotally anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the azygos vein is a rare congenital heart malformation in which all the pulmonary venous blood returns anomalously to the azygos vein. Among 111 consecutive patients with totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection undergoing surgical correction at our institution between June 1982 and September 1997, this malformation was present in seven cases. By echocardiography, using a subxyphoid short-axis view at the atrial level and a modified suprasternal sagittal view, the malformation was diagnosed when the pulmonary venous confluence was traced posteriorly and superiorly relative to the right pulmonary artery and right bronchus, finally reaching reach the superior caval vein. Totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the azygos vein was misdiagnosed in the first two patients, both by echocardiography and angiocardiography. In the subsequent five patients, a precise diagnosis was obtained by echocardiography. Echocardiography, therefore, can be considered an accurate diagnostic tool permitting recognition of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the azygos vein, and permitting corrective surgery without recourse to catheterization and angiography.
