  • Title: Infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage: a diagnostic challenge.
    Author: Silva CM, Oporto VM, Silveira P, Bertini A, Kapins CE, Carvalho AC.
    Journal: Arq Bras Cardiol; 2007 Apr; 88(4):e81-3. PubMed ID: 17546257.
    Abstract:
    Infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage can be erroneously diagnosed as respiratory distress of several different etiologies during the neonatal period. A cross-sectional echocardiography study with Doppler color flow mapping can preoperatively determine the precise drainage site and pulmonary venous return pattern, thereby allowing cardiac surgery to be performed promptly, prior to any clinical deterioration.
