CLINICAL PROGRESS Transposition of the Pulmonary Veins
نویسنده
چکیده
PULMONARY veins entering the right atrium or its tributaries constitute the entity of transposition of the pulmonary veins. The transposition may be complete, when all the veins enter the right heart, or incomplete, when only some of the pulmonary veins drain anomalously. We are reviewing our experiences with total and partial anomalies of pulmonary venous drainage because of the increasing surgical interest in the problem, and because we feel that the clinical profile to be presented is sufficiently characteristic to enable the cardiologist to make the diagnosis with relative ease in most instances.

An 11-year-old girl was found to have completely obstructed left pulmonary veins eight years following corrective surgery for transposition of the great arteries.
