Objective: In an effort to overcome limitations of conventional techniques for surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), we developed the lateral caval flap (LCF) technique, which leverages a native endocardial surface to create unobstructed recruitment of the anomalous pulmonary veins to the left atrium. In this study, we report the long-term outcomes of the LCF and conventional techniques for repair of right-sided PAPVC.
Methods: In total, 109 adult patients (mean age 48 years; 57% male) who underwent right-sided PAPVC repair (53 LCF, 34 single-patch, 13 double-patch, 7 pericardial roll, and 2 Warden procedure) from 1997 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare yet critical condition in children with a poor prognosis. The incidence and underlying risk factors of PVS following orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence and predictors of PVS development post-OHT among pediatric recipients.

Unlabelled: Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterised by anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right lung into the inferior vena cava, often accompanied by right lung hypoplasia and dextroposition of the heart. Here, we present the case of a 24-year-old female with scimitar syndrome and a history of asthma who presented with acute exacerbation of asthma. A chest X-ray revealed opacification of the right hemithorax, and a CT angiography revealed congenital hypoplasia of the right lung and dextrocardia.

Objective: We present prenatal diagnosis of a de novo 17q25.3 microdeletion in a fetus with abnormalities of the brain, heart and face.
Case Report: A 32-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, woman underwent amniocentesis at 25 weeks of gestation because of fetal abnormalities of partial agenesis of the corpus callosum with absence of the splenium, small brain volume, colpocephaly and micrognathia on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) and partial agenesis of the corpus callosum on fetal ultrasound at 23 weeks of gestation.

Background: Right anterolateral thoracotomy or left anterolateral thoracotomy applied to partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection correction have been reported to obtain cosmetic and less invasive outcomes as alternative approaches to median sternotomy. However, the application of different approaches is still confusing. We compared the perioperative and mid-term outcomes to seek indications of different approaches and guide surgical treatment of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
