Hemianomalous pulmonary venous connection of the left lung surgically corrected.

چکیده
Hemianomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital abnormality that leads to significant left-to-right shunt and complications related to that. Earlier surgical correction of this disorder was associated with the problem of stenosis at the anastomotic site with the left atrium. We describe the diagnosis of this abnormality in a 24-year-old woman and present the details of surgery to avoid the stenosis at the site of anastomosis.

BACKGROUND A partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital defect in which blood from the pulmonary vein is returned to the right atrium. Asymptomatic patients with a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a small left-to-right shunt do not require surgical treatment. If such patients require a major lung resection, the surgical procedure could precipitate fetal...

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare form of congenital heart disease, occurring in only 1.5% of children with congenital heart disease. Although the mortality and morbidity of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection have decreased dramatically due to improvements in surgery, postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction is still a cause of late mortality in patients with corr...

We describe the identification of a rare, left-sided, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection during routine central venous catheterization. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature to describe this anomaly in a hemodialysis patient. A young man had anomalous connection of the veins draining the upper lobe of the left lung and left innominate vein. Our case demonstrate...

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare abnormality with failure of connection between the initial draining system of the lungs and the common pulmonary vein. Right sided anomalous return is the most common form of anomalous connection, with left sided anomalous return uncommon. Presented is a case of left upper lobe partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection that was diagnos...
متن کاملSurgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection shunting from left atrium to innominate vein
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) causes a left-to-right shunt from the anomalous pulmonary vein (PV) to a systemic vein. We report an uncommon adult case of PAPVC, in which the left upper PV drained into both the innominate vein and the left atrium (LA), demonstrating retrograde shunting from the LA to the innominate vein. The anomaly was surgically repaired.
