Repair of a Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection After Mitral Valve Replacement: A Case Report
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2019, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a rare congenital disorder with an incidence 0.5% of all congenital cardiac defects. Usually seen with congenital cardiac defects such as sinus venosus type interatrial septal defects or patent foramen ovale. Patients are asymptomatic until later in life (usually not hemodynamically significant and it is usually well tolerated by patients) and incidentally diagnosed with routine chest film, central catheter misplacement or post mortem examinations. In open hearts surgeries appropriate preoperative diagnosis is crucial for the accompanying congenital heart defects. We report a case of a surgical treatment of PAPVC in a 56 year old woman who had a history of mitral valve replacement surgery 1 year ago.
