Echocardiographic diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous connections
We sought to evaluate the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis of different types of anomalous pulmonary venous connections (APVCs) and summarize the diagnostic experience. A total of 84 patients with APVC were confirmed by surgery (n = 82) or computerized tomography angiography (CTA) (n = 2) in the last 6 years (2008-2014) at the Wuhan Union Hospital. The total anomalous pulmonary venous...
متن کاملMultiple anomalous left pulmonary venous connections detected with transthoracic echocardiography
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital anomaly in which one or more pulmonary veins are connected to the venous circulation. The condition is frequently misdiagnosed, and usually identified by transesophageal echocardiography or invasive cardiac catheterization. We present the case of a 26-year-old female with new onset dyspnea on exertion who was diagnosed with the ...
متن کاملCongenital Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia, Associated with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return
Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia (CPL) is a rare pathological diagnosis. It was first reported by Virchow in 1856. CPL is histologically characterized by pulmonary lymphatic dilatation without lymphatic proliferation in the subpleural, peribronchovascular and interlobular areas. The prognosis of CPL is very poor where approximately 50% of all infants are stillborn and most others usually d...
متن کاملNovel Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection Associated with Brain Abscess
BACKGROUND Right-to-left vascular shunts are associated with brain abscess. CASE REPORT We present a 47-year-old female with a cryptogenic left thalamic abscess on which Streptococcus mitis grew upon aspiration. Computed tomography of the chest with contrast agent revealed an anomalous connection between the left superior pulmonary and brachiocephalic veins. A right-to-left shunt was confirme...
متن کاملTetralogy of Fallot Associated with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage*
A previously unreported association of tetralogy of Fallot and total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage is described in two infants. The initial clinical manifestation was tetralogy, and both patients had systemic-pulmonary shunt surgery to increase the pulmonary blood flow. Postoperatively, one infant died of massive pulmonary edema, and at postmortem examination total anomalous pulmonary ven...
