Multislice computed tomography is useful for evaluating partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volume-rendered images, derived from multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), can facilitate assessment of the morphology of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection and are thus useful in pre-operative planning to prevent surgical morbidity and assist post-operative evaluations.

Rare case of left upper lobe partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare abnormality with failure of connection between the initial draining system of the lungs and the common pulmonary vein. Right sided anomalous return is the most common form of anomalous connection, with left sided anomalous return uncommon. Presented is a case of left upper lobe partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection that was diagnos...
متن کاملMultidetector-row computed tomography angiography for the diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage: an initial experiment* Angiotomografia com múltiplos detectores no diagnóstico de drenagem venosa pulmonar anômala: experiência inicial
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...
متن کاملRare venous connection causing severe hypoxia after Fontan operation.
We describe a rare case of cyanosis following the Fontan operation with right-to-left shunting at the venous level, that is, an azygos venous to pulmonary venous connection. Few cases with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to azygos vein have been reported; however, there have been no reports describing the connection from azygos vein to pulmonary vein, which results in desaturation...
متن کاملThoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer in a patient with a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection: a case report
BACKGROUND A partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital defect in which blood from the pulmonary vein is returned to the right atrium. Asymptomatic patients with a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a small left-to-right shunt do not require surgical treatment. If such patients require a major lung resection, the surgical procedure could precipitate fetal...
متن کاملRare Congenital Aberrant Left Superior Pulmonary Vein Discovered with Central Line Placement in a Patient with Critical Cardiorespiratory Collapse
BACKGROUND Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital vascular disorder that may be asymptomatic. Left-sided connections with the innominate vein are discovered infrequently and those without an atrial septal defect are extremely rare. CASE A 66-year-old male was found to have an anomalous left pulmonary vein when a central venous catheter was inserted for management o...
