Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

From May 1995 through October 2001, 19 infants less than 90 days old underwent surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. In 15 babies with isolated total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, there was one operative death. In 4 with complex anomalies, there were 2 operative deaths. The vertical vein was not ligated in 6 cases for various reasons. Two patients died during reoperation for early pulmonary venous obstruction. In the late follow-up, 2 babies required reoperation for late anastomotic stricture; one needed additional balloon dilatation. Of the 14 surviving patients, one had a small residual gradient and infrequent supraventricular tachycardia, the others were asymptomatic and without gradients. Surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection can be carried out in early infancy with low mortality and morbidity. However, associated complex cardiac anomalies and small caliber pulmonary arteries and veins carry higher risks. Recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction and diffuse pulmonary vein stenosis are causes of early reoperation and poor surgical outcome.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital heart disease in which there is developmental absence of connection of all four pulmonary veins with the left atrium. To report a rare case and share our experience in surgery and post-operative management for supracardiac TAPVC. Patient with supracardiac TAPVC with atrial septal defect (ASD) secundum variety with rudimentary patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) underwent rechanneling of pulmonary veins to left atrium (LA) with gluteryldehye treated autologous pericardial patch closure of ASD with ligation of ascending vertical vein and ligation of rudimentary PDA.Post operatively there were no events of pulmonary hypertensive crisis, low cardiac output syndrome, right heart failure or conduction defect were observed and echocardiogram showed adequate pulmonary venous drainage with no residual shunt across the interatrial septum. Marked development in surgical results of TAPVC has been observed in recent years with declining mortality rate from 65% in early sixties to 5% in current surgical scenerio.

Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Abstract A 28-year-old male with infra-cardiac totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repaired as new-born presented in adulthood with right heart strain and very large left atrium to portal vein vessel. Residual connections from pulmonary veins to systemic circulation are believed to represent persistent ‘vertical veins’ (VV) not ligated at the time of the initial surgery. In our patient, since endovascular occlusion was not judged suitable, the anomalous vessel was surgically ligated and resected. A review of the literature failed to find such a procedure reported in an adult patient and analyzed the intra-operative ligation of VV during repair of TAPVC.
