Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) of the entire left lung is a rare congenital anomaly with incidental diagnosis and vague symptoms, if any, until late adulthood. If left untreated, PAPVC may result in severe right ventricular failure and pulmonary vascular disease. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with isolated PAPVC of the entire left lung. The patient u...

BACKGROUND Repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) to the high portion of the superior vena cava (SVC) may be complicated by atrial arrhythmia and obstruction of the pulmonary veins or SVC. We reviewed our experience with the modified Warden technique, in which the SVC was transected and anastomosed to the right atrial appendage with anterior augmentation of pedicled aut...

Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital abnormal cardiac defect involving the pulmonary veins draining into the right atrium (RA) directly or indirectly by venous connection. Ninety percent of PAPVCs are accompanied by atrial septal defect (ASD). To our knowledge, there is no previous report of PAPVC with ventricular septal defect (VSD) without ASD in Korea, and...

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 53.8% ...

Background: Superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV-ASD) is an interatrial defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) draining into the right atrium. The principle for SV-ASD surgical repair involves redirecting the pulmonary venous blood back to the left atrium and closure of the atrial septal defect without compromising the adjoining structures. Methods: We revi...

BACKGROUND Surgical repair of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) to the superior vena cava (SVC) may be complicated by sinus node dysfunction or SVC obstruction. We modified the Warden procedure by using a right atrial auricular flap to decrease the occurrence of these complications. METHODS Between February 2005 and July 2012, 10 consecutive patients underwent a modified...

BACKGROUND Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) without an atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with coarctation of the aortic arch is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. This rare combination is only described in a few studies; none report the correction of these two malformations in a single surgery. CASE PRESENTATION A 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because t...

OBJECTIVE To review the operative results of 55 cases of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). METHODS This retrospective case series of 55 cases of PAPVC operated from January 2011 to June 2016 at CPE Institute of cardiology, Multan. Baseline characteristics of patients, their operative findings and results were retrieved from the hospital record. RESULTS Operation for PAP...

this article aim is to introduce a case of papvc (partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection). the patient was a 25-year-old women who had dyspnea and palpitation. she expressed no special disease, no past medical history, and no drug usage, but her brother and her aunt had the above-mentioned history. in the physical examination, lungs were clear and the heart had s2 splitting, and there wa...
