TL;DR: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is failure of development of the common pulmonary vein, with consequent ersistence and enlargement of embryonic collaterals between the lungs and the systemic veins.

TL;DR: Experience with 75 cases of proven total anomalous pulmonary venous connection without other significant cardiac malformations treated at the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston from January 1950 to June 1968 forms the basis of this report.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Surgical correction in patients with TAPVC with a biventricular anatomy can achieve an acceptable outcome, and risk factors such as a younger age at the time of repair, infracardiac and mixed TAP VC, and preoperative PVO were associated with a poorer prognosis.
Abstract: Background:Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare form of congenital heart disease. This study describes current surgical treatment strategies and experiences in a cohort of ...

TL;DR: The clinical manifestations of these malformations are dependent on the anatomic structure and in general result in one of three clinical pictures: (1) pulmonary venous obstruction, (2) bidirectional shunt and (3) cyanosis without abnormal cardiac signs.
Abstract: Eighty pathologic specimens with anomalies of pulmonary veins were reviewed for the type of lesions encountered. These were classified on an anatomic basis into five groups, characterized by (1) stenotic lesions; (2) accessory veins; and (3) anomalous connection of pulmonary veins (a) either partial or total, to a systemic vein or right atrium (the most common condition found), (b) to a systemic vein while connection to the arterial atrium was also present and (c) to a pulmonary artery (arteriovenous fistula). Combinations may occur, since pulmonary veins involved in anomalous connection may also be stenotic. The latter combination effects an adverse course on the patient with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The clinical manifestations of these malformations are dependent on the anatomic structure and in general result in one of three clinical pictures: (1) pulmonary venous obstruction, (2) bidirectional shunt and (3) cyanosis without abnormal cardiac signs.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The extant nomenclature for pulmonary venous anomalies is reviewed for the purpose of establishing a unified reporting system and a comprehensive database set is presented that is based on a hierarchical scheme.
