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.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The prostaglandin challenge. Test to unmask obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connections in asplenia syndrome.
TL;DR: The infusion of prostaglandin E1 before operation in the patient with asplenia or similar cardiac disease may be of aid in unmasking 'silent' obstructions of the pulmonary veins, and is of obvious value in the preoperative assessment of such patients.

Palliation of cardiac malformations associated with right isomerism (asplenia syndrome) in infancy.
Roberto M. Di Donato,Duccio Di Carlo,C. Squitieri,Eugenio Rossi,Antonio Ammirati,Bruno Marino,Carlo Marcelletti +6 more
TL;DR: The presence of obstructed pulmonary venous drainage was the major risk factor in the surgical treatment of these complex cardiac anomalies and guidelines for the palliative management of right isomerism are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac function in total anomalous pulmonary venous return before and after surgery.
TL;DR: Left atrial function was abnormal, characterized by reduced reservoir function and a greater role as a “conduit” from right atrium to left ventricle and left atrial size was not found to be critical in the surgical repair of TAPVR.

Shunt Lesions Part II: Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connections and Truncus Arteriosus
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in neonates and young infants: Repair in the current era
TL;DR: During the past decade, with a consistent surgical approach to neonates and infants with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, it has been possible to achieve low early mortality, low attrition, and excellent late results.

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.

Implications of Agenesis of the Spleen on the Pathogenesis of Conotruncus Anomalies in Childhood
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
