Double drainage of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection revealed after surgical repair of a supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

Abstract

Mixed type TAPVC with double drainage, where the second vertical vein enlarged rather than atrophied after surgery. If we did not recognize left-to-right shunting before surgery, it can be treated with catheterization as demonstrated by our case.

Keywords: catheterization; coil embolization; congenital heart disease; mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection; veno‐venous shunt.
