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.

Stenting of the obstructed ductus venosus as emergency and bridging strategy in a very low birth weight infant with infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

TL;DR: A very low birth weight neonate with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and obstructed infracardiac pulmonary venus drainage was treated by stenting of the ductus venosus via a transjugular approach to stabilize the patient for as long as three months until definitive surgical correction.

Rare variant of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: intrapulmonary drainage of one lung by the other--a case report and review of the literature.

TL;DR: A rare type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a 4-month-old baby with the asplenia syndrome is presented, which represents a developmental error early in embryonic development before the venousconnection between the two lungs and the cardinal veins involute.

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.
