Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return: Scimitar Vein
Scimitar syndrome is a rare association of congenital cardiopulmonary anomalies characterized by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, in which an abnormal right pulmonary vein drains into the inferior vena cava. This case exemplifies the role of transesophageal echocardiography in perioperative management and surgical decision-making.
متن کاملThree-dimensional computed tomography showing partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection complicated by the scimitar syndrome.
The patient is a 41-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal chest radiograph. On admission, she was asymptomatic, but her cardiac silhouette was shifted to the right on chest radiograph. From contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT), we suspected that the right upper pulmonary vein connected to the inferior vena cava. The CT also revealed hypoplasia of the...

perlipidaemic with a positive family history for coronary artery disease (father) and diabetes mellitus (mother) was investigated for chest pain. The clinical examination gave no clear pathological findings. The ECG was normal. Blood biochemistry confirmed the reported hyperlipidaemia. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a small dilatation of the right cardiac cavities. There was no atrial ...
متن کاملPartial anomalous pulmonary venous connection and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) has been implicated as a cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); however this condition is often overlooked in the diagnostic work up of patients with PH. We studied the prevalence of PAH both in patients with isolated PAPVC or associated with other congenital heart diseases (CHD) such as atrial sept...
متن کاملPartial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with pulmonary hypertension.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) encompasses a group of cardiovascular anomalies that are caused by the abnormal return of one or more of the pulmonary veins directly to the right atrium or indirectly through a variety of venous connections from the anomalous pulmonary veins.1,2 We present the case of a 51-year-old man, a former smoker, with a history of hypertension, diabe...
