Abstract

Medical records, angiograms and operative records of 28 patients with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) were reviewed. Twenty patients had one anomalous pulmonary vein (APV), and 8 had more than two APVs. Twenty-five patients (89%) had APVs originating from the right lung, 2 (7%) from the left lung and 1 (4%) from both lungs. In the 25 patients with APVs originating from the right lung, 9 had APVs draining into the superior vena cava (SVC), 13 into the right atrium (RA), 1 into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and 2 into both the SVC and RA. In the 2 patients with APVs originating from the left lung, 1 had APVs draining into the RA, and the other had APVs draining into the innominate vein. The patient with APVs originating from both lungs had connection to the IVC. Twenty-three patients (82%) had additional cardiovascular defects. Surgery was performed in 13 patients who had pulmonary/systemic flow ratios greater than 2.0. The patients have done well after surgery. In 7 patients, we were unable to accurately determine the number or sites of drainage of APVs prior to surgery. We conclude that selective pulmonary angiography is indispensable for the accurate diagnosis of PAPVC.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
