  • Title: Mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Case report with bilateral venous collectors.
    Author: Cayre RO, Civetta JD, Roldan AO, Rousseau JJ, Knudson OA, Valdes-Cruz LM.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2003 Jan; 16(1):84-7. PubMed ID: 12514641.
    Abstract:
    We present a case report of a 3-month-old boy with a mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The patient had situs solitus, small atrial septal defect, and 2 separate venous collectors. The right pulmonary veins drained through a right-sided venous collector into the coronary sinus. The left-sided pulmonary veins drained through the left-sided venous collector directly into the right superior vena cava. The use of the echocardiogram and Doppler color flow mapping to establish a detailed morphologic analysis, the sites of connection, and the presence of pulmonary venous obstructions as well as the value of this information to facilitate a successful surgical repair are discussed.
