Infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage: a diagnostic challenge.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage can be erroneously diagnosed as respiratory distress of several different etiologies during the neonatal period. A cross-sectional echocardiography study with Doppler color flow mapping can preoperatively determine the precise drainage site and pulmonary venous return pattern, thereby allowing cardiac surgery to be performed promptly, prior to any clinical deterioration.

Midterm results after surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the surgical treatment of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and determination of predictors for postoperative death. Methods: Between 1995 and 2005, 80 patients aged from 1 month to 12 years underwent surgical repair for supracardiac (39), cardiac (34), infracardiac (3) or mixed (4) type of TAPVC. Systemic pulmonary hypertension (PH) in ...
متن کاملInfracardiac type total anomalous pulmonary venous return with obstruction and dilatation of portal vein
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), also known as total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, is a congenital cardiovascular malformation that presents itself in the neonatal period, with cyanosis and tachypnea. There are 4 types of TAPVR with the mixed type being the least common. Any type of TAPVR may be associated with obstruction as result of flow redirection through the liver...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine if multidetector-row computed tomography angiography is an effective and non-invasive method for diagnosing anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 2905 cases from July 2003 to November 2007 in which cardiac multidetector-row computed tomography was used. Of the cases, 393 evaluated congenital cardiopath...

Between May 1971 and December 1975, 39 infants had operations for correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Fourteen of the 39 patients were under 1 month of age at the time of operation. Twenty-four patients had supracardiac, 7 intracardiac, and 6 infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, and 2 had a mixed type. The overall hospital mortality was 36 per cent. There...

Methods In the period between January 1998 and April 2013, 84 patients (48 boys) underwent repair for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Their ages ranged from 2 weeks to 1.6 years (mean 4 months). The patients’ weight ranged from 3 to 8 kg (mean 5 kg). About 71% of patients (n = 60) were less than the 50th percentile of predicted weight for age and sex. The anomalous connection was s...
