Anomalous Drainage of Entire Pulmonary Venous System into Left Innominate Vein
نویسندگان
چکیده
Total anomalous drainage of pulmonary venous blood produces a severe circulatory disturbance. In the most common type of this category of lesions, the entire venous return from the lungs enters a common venous channel ascending in the left superior mnediastinum where it connects with the innominate vein. Seven cases of this type are described. Successful total correction was possible in 4 of these patients in whom a special technic was used, which incorporated the pump oxygenator for temporary cardiopulmonary bypass. This technic provides optimum conditions for complete correction of this complicated anomaly.

متن کاملInterventional therapy for partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with dual drainage
A 6-year-old boy presented with dual drainage of left upper pulmonary vein, with connection to innominate vein inaddition to its normal connection to the left atrium. Despite relief of aortic stenosis at the age of 3 years, significant left to right shunt persisted. The dual drainage allowed successful percutaneous closure of the levoatriocardinal vein without obstruction to the pulmonary venou...
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.

Three patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD) into the innominate vein were studied by using M-mode and pulsed Doppler echocardiography. An abnormal continuous flow towards the transducer in a suprasternal notch position detected by pulsed Doppler echocardiography in the left hemithorax leftward of the aortic echo is a sign of blood flow through the left vertical vein in...
متن کاملIncidental finding of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
A 56-year-old man with locally advanced gastric carcinoma underwent echocardiography prior to commencing chemotherapy to assess the left ventricular systolic function. Echocardiography disclosed a severely dilated right heart, with preserved right ventricular systolic function and a normal predicted pulmonary artery systolic pressure. The inter-atrial septum was intact and no other structural c...
