AbstractWe report a case of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which the two pulmonary veins from the left lung joined to form a common vein which then passed across the midline into a hypoplastic right lung and, after receiving small veins from the right lung, passed inferiorly, exiting the lung below the hilum as a “scimitar” vein and terminating in the inferior caval vein. A separate pulmonary vein from the right lung passed inferiorly independently and joined the “scimitar” vein before it entered the inferior caval vein. There was an associated hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (PAPVC) is a remarkably unusual congenital disorder in which the venous circulation is connected with one or more pulmonary veins. Approximately 90% of all PAPVCs start from the right lung, 7% start from the left lung, and 3% of patients are found to have two-side PAPVCs. Occasionally, PAPVC can be treated percutaneously employing an occlusion device, with regard that when there is a dual drainage PAPVC. Here, we want to share our experience in 5 dual drainages PAPVC patients whose 2 right-sided PAPVC's with dual drainage closure were unsuccessful. We also reviewed all published cases which were tried to treat percutaneously to build a pathway in which percutaneous closure is more feasible in addition to inhibit futile efforts.

A young man had anomalous connection of the veins draining the upper lobe of the left lung to both a left-sided vertical vein and the left atrium. The ratio of pulmonary to systemic flows was 1.7 : 1, and he was symptomatic with evidence of volume overload of the right heart. He was successfully treated by percutaneous placement of an Amplatzer ductal occlusion device into the vertical vein.

We describe a rare form of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a neonate with major extracardiac congenital abnormalities. The infracardiac communication was hypoplastic, whereas the supracardiac connection had an intrapulmonary course through the left lung. There was an associated atrioventricular septal defect.
