  • Title: Repair of atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from the left upper lobe.
    Author: Ghassemi AR, Thomson NB.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1977 Jan; 23():73-6. PubMed ID: 318823.
    Abstract:
    A patient with partial anomalous venous return from the left upper lobe in the presence of a large atrial septal defect is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by selective angiographic studies. Two technical points are emphasized: first, that the exposure through a midsternal incision is excellent, and second, that the anomalous vein must be detached from its connection to the innominate or subclavian artery as high into the left chest as it is technically possible to reach. Postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiograms confirm the completeness of the repair.
