Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Cor triatriatum may be associated with abnormalities of pulmonary venous anatomy. This case report describes a unique form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The patient presented at 5 weeks of age with symptoms of tachypnea and poor feeding. Echocardiography demonstrated cor triatriatum and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right upper lung. The patient underwent urgent repair of cor triatriatum. It was elected to not address the partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection at that time. The patient returned at age 19 months for elective repair of the anomalous pulmonary venous connection. There was also a large vein connecting the right lower pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava. This was repaired by dividing the superior vena cava along a vertical axis to redirect the flow of the anomalous pulmonary veins through the connecting vein to the left atrium. This report describes the anatomy and surgical approach to a unique form of anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Bidirectional Cavopulmonary Anastomosis

The bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis (BCPA or bidirectional Glenn) is an operation to treat congenital heart diseases of the right heart by diverting the systemic venous return from the superior vena cava to both lungs. The main goal is to provide the correct perfusion to both lungs avoiding an excessive increase in systemic venous pressure. One of the factors which can affect the clinical outcome of the surgically reconstructed circulation is the amount of pulsatile blood flow coming from the main pulmonary artery. The purpose of this work is to analyse the influence of this factor on the BCPA hemodynamics. A 3-D finite element model of the BCPA has been developed to reproduce the flow of the surgically reconstructed district. Geometry and hemodynamic data have been taken from angiocardiogram and catheterization reports, respectively. On the basis of the developed 3-D model, four simulations have been performed with increasing pulsatile blood flow rate from the main pulmonary artery. The results show that hemodynamics in the pulmonary arteries are greatly influenced by the amount of flow through the native main pulmonary artery and that the flow from the superior vena cava allows to have a similar distribution of the blood to both lungs, with a little predilection for the left side, in agreement with clinical postoperative data.

Venous Anomalies

This chapster discusses anomalies of systemic venous drainage and anomalies of pulmonary venous drainage. It discusses superior vena cava (SVC) anomalies, inferior vena cava (IVC), total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD), partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD), and scimitar syndrome.
