A subtype of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) consists of the vertical vein passing between the left pulmonary artery and the left mainstem bronchus resulting in relative obstruction to pulmonary venous return. This has been termed the vascular vise. In this situation, the supracardiac type of TAPVR (Type I) may mimic radiographically the infradiaphragmatic type (Type 3).

Background: The vertical vein (VV) ligation during the total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) correction is still controversial. Our study aimed to define the potential risk factors for VV persistence and their percutaneous occlusion.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study included 40 patients (26 males) with TAPVR treated at the tertiary referral center from 2005 to 2024.

Pulmonary venous developmental anomalies have historically been evaluated using echocardiography and catheter-based angiography. In recent years, however, multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA) and MR angiography have become increasingly important tools for detailed characterization of these anomalies. This case report provides an in-depth review of the radiologic findings in a 15-year-old patient diagnosed with the supracardiac type of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC).

We report a rare case of an infracardiac-type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with nonconfluent bilateral pulmonary veins in a patient diagnosed with heterotaxy syndrome with right atrial isomerism, mitral valve atresia, a single atrium, and double-outlet right ventricle. On the fourth day of life, the patient underwent successful repair using a sutureless technique. Two years after the surgery, the patient remained well without any signs of pulmonary venous obstruction.

- The study aimed to explore the health outcomes and factors relating to adults with a specific heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return with an intact atrial septum (PAPVR-IAS) that hasn't been surgically repaired.
- Researchers at the Mayo Clinic analyzed various clinical indicators and heart measurements in 80 patients over 3 to 5 years, comparing those with unrepaired PAPVR-IAS to those who underwent repair.
- They found that a newly developed risk score could predict the need for surgical intervention, and importantly, patients with unrepaired PAPVR-IAS showed no significant decline in their health or heart function over time.
Surgical Repair of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection into the Superior Vena Cava: A Case Report.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital anomaly that has four anatomical subtypes. In the supracardiac type, the common pulmonary vein confluence usually drains into the left innominate vein via a vertical vein; however, it may drain into the superior vena cava. Herein, we present a successful surgical repair of a rare type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which the common pulmonary vein confluence was draining directly into the superior vena cava without a vertical vein.
