Background: Infracardiac obstructive total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) has a poor outcome following surgical correction. We compared the surgical outcomes of obstructive TAPVR between non-infracardiac and infracardiac types. Methods: Among 51 patients who underwent surgical repair for obstructive TAPVR, 23 with infracardiac type and 28 with non-infracardiac type were included in this investigation. The study compared the immediate postoperative courses in the intensive care unit and long-term mortality and pulmonary vein stenosis. The risk factors for long-term survival in obstructive TAPVR also were investigated. Results: The postoperative follow-up period was 79.8 ± 81.5 months. Immediate major operative complications were observed in 22 patients (43.1%); 10 patients (19.6%) died, and eight patients (15.7%) experienced pulmonary vein stenosis during the follow-up period. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed better cumulative survival in patients with infracardiac TAPVR (P = 0.308). The significant factors for survival after surgical repair of obstructive TAPVR did not include anatomical type but instead were postoperative course of ventilator care and lengths of intensive care unit and hospital stays. Conclusion: Patients with non-infracardiac TAPVR with obstruction had a longer postoperative course and experienced more complications. Their survival rate was poorer, and postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis was more frequent in those patients compared with infracardiac TAPVR patients. However, a large-scale study is mandatory to gather more data and confirm our findings.

The Right

We describe an extremely rare case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return in a 3-year-old boy with an abnormal connection between the right upper pulmonary vein and the right middle pulmonary vein, which created biatrial communication hemodynamically. Patch closure on the orifice of the right upper pulmonary vein was performed to avoid distortion or kinking of the right pulmonary veins and the connection.

Sectional Imaging

The evaluation of pulmonary veins during cross-sectional imaging of the chest and the knowledge of their embryology and anatomy are useful for detecting congenital conditions that may be clinically significant. Moreover, with the spread of cross-sectional imaging it is very frequent to find anatomical variants; therefore the radiologist should easily recognize their appearances. This case report shows a left-side upper partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) through a “curved” vein that joins the left brachiocephalic vein, in a female patient who underwent whole-body computed tomography (CT) for staging endometrial cancer. This was an incidental finding, not related to any symptoms; however, we explain the anatomical aspects of this abnormality within the congenital condition of PAPVR and its possible clinical relevance.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements None Introduction Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that usually involves the right pulmonary vein and an atrial septal defect. It is accounted for 0.7%. Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous return with an intact atrial septum is even rarer, and this condition is usually treated surgically in younger patients. We report a case of a young female, incidentally found to have a right upper pulmonary vein draining into the right atrium, confirmed by TOE and CT Venography pulmonary, with moderate right ventricular enlargement, without pulmonary hypertension, intra-cardiac shunt or accompanied congenital anomaly. A decision of surgical correction was made. We conclude that it is important to suspect PAPVC in patients with right ventricular volume overload, even in absence of ASD. Case presentation A 26-year-old female, not known to have any chronic illness. She was referred because of poor appetite and low weight, to cardiology evaluation for accidental murmur finding during examination. She had no other symptoms. The TOE was done which showed left pulmonary veins are normal, the right lower pulmonary vein is normal, and there is high suspicion of aberrant right upper pulmonary vein draining in the right atrium, no evidence of intra-cardiac shunt. CT Venography pulmonary revealed anomalous (Giant) right superior pulmonary vein to the superior vena cava and draining to the right atrium. Figure 1. Patient was referred for surgical correction. Discussion Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return is a type of left to right shunt. It is a rare congenital abnormal cardiac defect in which the pulmonary veins draining into the right atrium (RA) directly or indirectly by venous connection. Its accounted for 0.4 to 0.7%. However, as this rate is based upon autopsy data, the true prevalence of PAPVR may actually be higher. PAPVR is frequently associated with other congenital heart disease, most commonly ASD, in >75% of patients. It is estimated that 10% to 15% of patients with ASD and up to 85% of patients with sinus venosus ASD have PAPVC. Exclusive of ASD, other more complex cardiac malformations occur in ∼20% of patients. PAPVR can also be an isolated defect with intact atrial septum. TOE is more sensitive than TTE in detecting PAPVR. A potential limitation of echocardiography is the availability of acoustic windows. If all four PVs are not identified emptying into the left atrium on TEE, CCT and CMR may provide complementary data . CONCLUSION In conclusion, missed diagnosis always occurs in PAPVR, the debauched and blood flow of pulmonary vein should be over-viewed carefully during TEE examination. In a patient with unexplained RV enlargement PAPVC (one or more pulmonary veins) should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Multi-modality cardiac imaging using echocardiography, CT angiography and CMR may provide a comprehensive noninvasive evaluation of PAPVC. Abstract P1729 Figure. Fig1 TOE (Top),CT (Bottom) of RUPV
