Total anomalous left pulmonary venous connection with intact atrial septum: surgical treatment of a rare case

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Hospital S. Leonardo, Salerno, Italy.

Total anomalous left pulmonary venous connection with intact atrial septum is an extremely rare form of congenital heart disease. We describe a case never reported before in which the left pulmonary veins drained directly into the right atrium through a common vein. Surgical correction was successfully obtained by redirecting the blood flow through a newly created atrial septal defect into the left atrium using a gluteraldehyde-treated autologous pericardial patch. Follow-up at 6 months shows no signs of any complication.
