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...

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...

Background: Partial anomalous venous connections (PAPVC) are associated with left to right shunting and heart dilatation. Identification of PAPVC has increased widespread use cross-sectional imaging modalities. However, management strategies mostly based on expert opinion given the scarcity data from large series. We aimed define types significance isolated atrial septal defect (ASD) detected b...
