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...

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) encompasses a group of cardiovascular anomalies that are caused by the abnormal return of one or more of the pulmonary veins directly to the right atrium or indirectly through a variety of venous connections from the anomalous pulmonary veins.1,2 We present the case of a 51-year-old man, a former smoker, with a history of hypertension, diabe...

perlipidaemic with a positive family history for coronary artery disease (father) and diabetes mellitus (mother) was investigated for chest pain. The clinical examination gave no clear pathological findings. The ECG was normal. Blood biochemistry confirmed the reported hyperlipidaemia. The transthoracic echocardiogram showed a small dilatation of the right cardiac cavities. There was no atrial ...

Background: Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is frequently associated with atrial septal defect (ASD), especially sinus venosus (SVD). Although Waggstaffe described the pathology of SVDs in 1868, exact anatomic features and nature SVD remains controversial. no posterior rim were observed recent years. However, studies suggested that absence residual tissue might be key feat...

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...

The presented case was a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with asplenia (SLL), double outlet right ventricle, pulmonary stenosis, atrioventricular septal defect, hypoplastic left ventricle and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior vena cava. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection was repaired by translocation of pulmonary artery to avoid pulmonary venous obstruction when ...

Anomalous Pulmonary venous connection is drainage of one or more pulmonary veins outside left atrium. Venous Connection most common on Left side upper vein drains directly into innominate to ultimately drain right Right Partial can be Superior Vena Cava, Atrium, Innominate rarely Inferior Cava.

Scimitar syndrome is a variant of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), in which all or part of the right lung is drained by right pulmonary veins that anomalously connect to the inferior vena cava (IVC). The affected lung and its associated airways are often hypoplastic. In addition, aortopulmonary collateral vessels may be involved on the affected side, causing sequestration ...
