Systemic and pulmonary venous connections in visceral heterotaxy with asplenia : diagnostic and surgical considerations based on seventy-two autopsied cases
TL;DR: To facilitate the preoperative diagnosis and surgical management of visceral heterotaxy and asplenia, 72 postmortem cases were reviewed with particular attention focused on the systemic and pulmonary venous connections.

Boy:girl ratio in children born with different forms of cardiac malformation: a population-based study.
TL;DR: The boy: girl ratio was calculated for all live births with cardiac malformation in Bohemia from 1977–1984 and found that there were significantly more girls than boys with persistent ductus arteriosus.

Structural study of pulmonary circulation and of heart in total anomalous pulmonary venous return in early infancy.
S G Haworth,L Reid +1 more
TL;DR: In the older patients with the latter anomaly dilation of the pulmonary arteries and right ventricle suggested that a large left-to-right shunt had preceded the onset of obstruction to pulmonary venous return and that the more severe right ventricular and septal hypertrophy in these cases might be the result of a longer duration of pulmonary hypertension.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return: Familial and environmental factors
TL;DR: Although the number of TAPVR cases is small, this epidemiologic study identifies hypotheses that may be further explored in morphogenetic and epidemiology studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in infancy.
TL;DR: One patient required two subsequent reoperations for persistent pulmonary venous obstruction, and another patient had superior vena cava obstruction necessitating reoperation, resulting in a mean follow-up of 26 months.

Management of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return
TL;DR: Until technics for surgical treatment of this group of anomalies in early infancy become more successful, balloon atrial septostomy in combination with intensive medical management as effective palliative treatment for most of these patients in the first 6 months of life is recommended.
