Imaging of Supracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage

چکیده
CHEST, 79: 1, JANUARY, 1981 IMAGING OF SUPRACARDIAC TOTAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS DRAINAGE 113 patient was one of acute ventricular failure with severe right upper abdominal quadrant pain due to liver distention, ascites, and edema. We suspect that the primary event was acute detachment of the semicircular suture, producing tricuspid regurgitation, acute right ventricular distention, increased tension of the papillary muscles, and chordae tendineae and tear of the latter structure. Probably the moderate pulmonary hypertension still present in this case increased further the stress on the subvalvular apparatus, contributing to rupture of the septal leaflet chordae tendineae and to the severity of right ventricular failure following this rupture.

Computed tomography features of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in an infant
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the pulmonary veins drainage. In this entity, the pulmonary veins, instead of draining to left atrium, connect abnormally to the systemic venous circulation. A right-to-left shunt is obligatory for survival. Based on its type and degree of pulmonary venous obstruction, TAPVC may result in pulmonary hypertension ...
متن کاملEmergency stenting of vertical vein in a neonate with obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
A late preterm newborn baby presented with respiratory distress and increasing cyanosis within 2 hours of birth. Bedside transthroracic echocardiography showed a critically obstructed vertical vein in a supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVd). Emergency stenting of the vertical vein was successfully performed at 24 hours of life.

INTRODUCTION Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is an uncommon congenital heart disease. Four types are described based on the site of pulmonary venous drainage: supracardiac, cardiac, infradiaphragmathic, and mixed connection. In most cases of supracardiac type, the common venous confluence drains through an ascending left vertical vein into the brachiocephalic vein, right superior ve...
متن کاملAnomalous drainage of inferior vena cava to left atrium in association with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
Drainage of the inferior vena cava directly into the left atrium is a rare but well recognised anomaly of systemic venous drainage. It has been reported in isolation and in association with other cardiac defects. We report a case of anomalous drainage of the inferior vena cava into the left atrium in association with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the supracardiac type, a hitherto...
متن کاملTwo cases of total anomalous pulmonary venous return of the supracardiac type with stenosis simulating infradiaphragmatic drainage.
T OTAL anomalous pulmonary venous return has been classified into four types: cardiac, supracardiae, infracardiae, and mixed, depending on the route by which blood is conveyed by the anomalous vein to the riaht side of the heart.' A simplified classification has recently been suggested based on the known physiologic effect of infradiaphragmatic drainage, namely pulmonary venous obstruction.2 O1...
