Background: Patients with obstructed infra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) require urgent intervention to relieve the obstruction, with or without restoration of anatomical continuity between the pulmonary veins and the left atrium. In cases of infra-cardiac TAPVC draining into the inferior vena cava (IVC) or hepatic vein, the obstructed channel can be accessed via the systemic venous approach for endovascular palliation. However, in cases of infra-cardiac TAPVC draining into the portal venous system, an endovascular approach to the obstructed channel is not possible via the transfemoral route and may require direct percutaneous puncture of the splenoportal axis.

Background: Survival beyond one month of age is rare in children born with obstructed infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). There are limited data available on surgical outcomes of the same subset. We conducted this retrospective study to identify risk factors associated with surgical outcomes in this patient population.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study assesses the effectiveness of fetal MRI in diagnosing total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and its impact on fetal brain development by comparing brain volumes in affected fetuses to normal controls and those with another heart condition, tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
  • - Among 21 TAPVC fetuses studied, the majority were classified as supracardiac or intracardiac, with significant post-natal confirmation of cases, while some fetuses also presented other cardiac abnormalities.
  • - Key MRI findings included a dilated coronary sinus and pulmonary edema, with notable differences in brain volumes where TAPVC fetuses exhibited lower cerebellum and brainstem volumes compared to controls, alongside an increase in subc

Article Synopsis
  • A newborn with a rare heart condition was found to have an unusual liver blood flow pattern during a CT scan that was initially thought to be a blood clot.
  • The case highlights how the baby's unique anatomy affects liver blood flow distribution, leading to the misinterpretation of imaging results.
  • Gaining a clearer understanding of these hepatic perfusion abnormalities can help medical professionals correctly identify similar cases in the future, preventing misdiagnosis and extra tests.
