Anomalous drainage of inferior vena cava to left atrium in association with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

Total Anomalous Systemic Venous Drainage with Heterotaxia Syndrome: A Rare Case

Total anomalous systemic venous return is a very rare anomaly, where vena cava inferior, vena cava superior, and coronary sinus drain into left atrium. Two-day-old male baby was admitted with cyanosis and tachypnea after the birth. Left atrial isomerism with anomalous systemic venous drainage was found on echocardiographic examination. We present an unusual case of total anomalous systemic veno...

Co-existent Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage into Portal Vein, Drainage of Left-sided Inferior Vena Cava into Left Atrium, and Splenic Agenesis.

The echocardiographic diagnosis of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection in the fetus.

BACKGROUND Infants with isolated totally anomalous pulmonary venous return often present severely decompensated, such that they are at high risk for surgical repair. On the other hand, if surgical repair can be safely accomplished, the outlook is usually good. Thus prenatal diagnosis would be expected to improve the prognosis for the affected child. OBJECTIVE To describe the features of isola...

Scimitar sign with normal pulmonary venous drainage and anomalous inferior vena cava.

A case of the scimitar sign due to an anomaly of the right sided pulmonary vein with normal drainage into the left atrium was associated with an azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava. Digital subtraction angiography allows the identification of these rare congenital vascular malformations.

Successful total correction of complete atrioventricular canal, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and unroofed coronary sinus in an infant.

An infant with complete atrioventricular canal, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the left superior vena cava and an unroofed coronary sinus successfully underwent total correction. A homograft vein was used to connect the proximal left superior vena cava to the right atrium and can be recommended when other methods of correction of unroofed coronary sinus cannot be used.
