Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Report of 93 autopsied cases with emphasis on diagnostic and surgical considerations.

TLDR
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.

Visualization of pulmonary vein obstruction by pulmonary artery wedge injection.

TL;DR: At cardiac catheterization, pulmonary artery wedge injection was the only angiographic technique that visualized the site and degree of pulmonary venous obstruction in the case reported here.

Pulmonary vascular disease in 57 necropsy cases of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

TL;DR: In a semi‐quantitative necropsy study, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) was an isolated anomaly in 35 cases and was associated with asplenia and either pulmonary stenosis or pulmonary atresia in 22 cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anomalous pulmonary venous connections.

TL;DR: An understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology of anomalous pulmonary venous connections and truncus arteriosus is essential for the optimal perioperative management of these complex and challenging congenital lesions.

The Cardiovascular System

TL;DR: In animals that sweat, and particularly in man with his very high rate of cutaneous moisture loss, the increased blood flow provides both the latent heat of vaporization and a supply of water for evaporation, which plays an important role in increasing the rate of heat loss.

Comparison of conventional and primary sutureless surgery for repairing supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

TL;DR: The mortality, post-PVO, follow up results of supracadiac TAPVD showed no differences between sutureless and conventional techniques, and post- PVO supposed to be the main reason for postoperative mortality.

Intracardiac surgery in neonates and infants using deep hypothermia with surface cooling and limited cardiopulmonary bypass.

TL;DR: Thirty-three of 37 infants under 10 kg in weight, with correctable lesions, survived this procedure, including 25 aged 8 days to 12 months, and is believed to have wide application in the neonatal and infant group.

TL;DR: The author has shown that early splenic primordia exist at the time of fusion of the A‐V canal cushions and there is a primitive gut mesentery in the left aspect of the dorsal mesogastrium.

Cor triatriatum: Pathologic anatomy and a consideration of morphogenesis based on 13 postmortem cases and a study of normal development of the pulmonary vein and atrial septum in 83 human embryos

TL;DR: The pathologic and embryologic findings strongly suggest that cor triatriatum results from entrapment of the left atrial ostium of the common pulmonary vein by tissue of the right horn of the sinus venosus from which septum primum develops, leading to failure of incorporation of theCommon pulmonary vein into theleft atrium during the fifth embryonic week.

Development of the pulmonary veins; with reference to the embryology of anomalies of pulmonary venous return.

TL;DR: The examination of serial sections of human embryos between 24 and 34 days and the use of plastic reconstructions showed that the common pulmonary vein develops as an outgrowth from the medial superior wall of the left auricle and unites with the angioblastic plexus of the developing lung bud.
