  • Title: Functional total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage by left atrium-to-superior vena cava shunt.
    Author: Ono M, Goerler H, Bertram H, Breymann T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 Mar; 91(3):903-4. PubMed ID: 21353024.
    Abstract:
    Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is occasionally associated with a functional single ventricle and is thought to be a risk for the staged Fontan approach. We report a patient with a very rare presentation of mitral atresia and intact atrial septum with physiologically total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage by a connecting vein between the left atrium and the superior vena cava. A surgical atrioseptectomy as a functional repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and pulmonary artery banding was successfully performed as the first palliation for Fontan completion.
