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.

Cor triatriatum may be associated with abnormalities of pulmonary venous anatomy. This case report describes a unique form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The patient presented at 5 weeks of age with symptoms of tachypnea and poor feeding. Echocardiography demonstrated cor triatriatum and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right upper lung. The patient underwent urgent repair of cor triatriatum. It was elected to not address the partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection at that time. The patient returned at age 19 months for elective repair of the anomalous pulmonary venous connection. There was also a large vein connecting the right lower pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava. This was repaired by dividing the superior vena cava along a vertical axis to redirect the flow of the anomalous pulmonary veins through the connecting vein to the left atrium. This report describes the anatomy and surgical approach to a unique form of 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.

AbstractWe report a case of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which the two pulmonary veins from the left lung joined to form a common vein which then passed across the midline into a hypoplastic right lung and, after receiving small veins from the right lung, passed inferiorly, exiting the lung below the hilum as a “scimitar” vein and terminating in the inferior caval vein. A separate pulmonary vein from the right lung passed inferiorly independently and joined the “scimitar” vein before it entered the inferior caval vein. There was an associated hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

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.

Abstract Background Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome is extremely rare. Case presentation We present a case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome in a patient who was diagnosed based on transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography. We observed complete absence of the lung, the bronchial tree, and vascular structures on the right side, with abnormal drainage of the left pulmonary veins into the innominate vein. The patient showed clear clinical evidence of pulmonary venous obstruction and underwent surgery 3 days after birth. The pulmonary venous chamber containing the vertical vein was anastomosed to the left atrium using 7–0 PDS running sutures via a median sternotomy. Echocardiography and computed tomography performed 1 year postoperatively revealed no pulmonary venous obstruction. Conclusion We report a rare case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome, which was successfully repaired 3 days after birth. A median sternotomy is a safe and effective approach for surgical repair of congenital heart disease with unilateral lung agenesis. Repair of the supra cardiac total anomalous pulmonary connection using the vertical vein is feasible in patients with a small pulmonary venous chamber.

A 2 years old boy presented to us with a history of repeated respiratory tract infections and bluish discoloration of tongue, lips and figure tips for last 18 months. Echocardiography and Computed tomography (CT) angiogram revealed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) mixed type (supracardiac and cardiac);all pulmonary veins drain into a common chamber behind left atrium (LA) and left lower pulmonary vein (LUPV) drains to vertical vein and common chamber both.The patient underwent rerouting of pulmonary veins and vertical vein ligation above the drainage of LUPV.

Surgical repair of right-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) involves baffling the pulmonary vein across a naturally occurring or surgically created atrial septal defect without causing pulmonary venous or superior vena cava obstruction. A nine-year-old male presented to us with an unusual anatomical variant of right-sided partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The pulmonary veins draining the right upper and middle lobes connected to the azygous vein that drained in the usual fashion into the superior vena cava. The Warden operation was modified, with the use of femoral vein homograft, to avoid pulmonary venous obstruction.
