Overview

Due to the poor prognosis in untreated patients, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Surgical Therapy

{{#ev:youtube|T55enviCE2E}}

Surgery should be performed as soon as possible in the patients of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The surgical procedure varies depending upon the anatomy of the TAPVC lesion.

  • Supracardiac and Infracardiac TAPVC- Connection is created between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium. The vertical vein is tied up so that the abnormal blood flow could be prevented.
  • Pulmonary veins directly connected to the superiorvenacava - An intracardiac baffle is created that helps in transfer of blood from the right atrium, through atrial septum into the left atrium.
  • Intracardiac (pulmonary vein connected to the coronary sinus)- Coronary sinus is incised and connected to left atrium.
  • Intracardiac (pulmonary vein opening directly into the right atrium)- A interatrial connection is made and the blood is redirected from right atrium to left atrium
