چکیده

We report the prenatal diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the portal system in a 20-week fetus with right atrial isomerism. The apex of the fetal heart pointed to the left, the fetal stomach was on the right, there was a common atrioventricular valve, the left ventricle was small and the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava were on the left side; all these features were suggestive of right atrial isomerism. An anomalous vein was connected to the portal vein which ascended above the diaphragm and ended in a confluence of pulmonary veins, posterior to the common atrium. Color Doppler imaging helped confirm the diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The prenatal findings were confirmed on autopsy.

Cross sectional echocardiographic diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection can be diagnosed by cross sectional echocardiography. Information is, however, lacking concerning the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method and any factors which may influence it. To predict the pulmonary venous connection 463 patients with congenital heart disease who had angiographic confirmation were prospectively examined. Total anomalous pul...

Prenatal diagnoses of an uncommon isolated obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

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...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of prenatal cardiac diagnosis, prognosis, and outcome of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and to determine echocardiographic clues in the prenatal diagnosis of isolated TAPVC or TAPVC in association with other complex congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS We reviewed our 13-year experience of prenatal dia...

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection draining into the portal vein in a 2-month-old infant: multidetector computed tomography angiography diagnosis

Early diagnosis and surgical correction is highly important for survival. In the evaluation of TAPVC, imaging methods have been used. Recent advances Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the pulmonary veins fail to connect with the left atrium and connect directly to the right atrium or to one of the systemic veins. Early diagnosis an...

Sutureless pericardial repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in patients with right atrial isomerism.

Surgical repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in patients with right atrial isomerism is associated with a significant risk of recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). We evaluate the effect of sutureless repair to reduce the risk of recurrent PVO. Since November 2007, five patients, including three neonates, with right atrial isomerism underwent sutureless repair ...
