Abstract

The aim of this report is to review the surgical experience of a single institution with a relatively large series of patients with mixed total pulmonary venous drainage. Between January 1, 1971, and December 31, 1994, 232 patients with total pulmonary venous drainage underwent surgical correction. Twenty of these patients (8.6%) had mixed type total pulmonary venous drainage. Ages at operation ranged from 1 day to 46 months, with a median of 2.3 months. Both cardiac catheterization and echocardiography were performed before operation in 12 patients. Four patients underwent only cardiac catheterization, and another four patients underwent only echocardiography. The sensitivity and specificity for catheterization were 94% and 99%, respectively; they were 31% and 100%, respectively, for echocardiography. Severe pulmonary venous obstruction was present in three patients, all of whom underwent emergency operation. Three patients (15%), all of whom had preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction, died after operation. There were two late deaths, one of pulmonary vein stenosis and the other of probable pulmonary hypertension. The actuarial survival at 10 years was 73% for all patients; patients who survived the initial operation had a ...Continue Reading
