  2. Anomalous pulmonary venous connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_pulmonary_venous...

    Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, also known as total anomalous pulmonary venous return, is a rare cyanotic congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins drain into the right side of the heart instead of the left, as is usually seen. This can happen within the heart (intracardiac) where it drains into the coronary sinus or ...

  3. Scimitar syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar_syndrome

    This anomalous pulmonary venous return can be either partial (PAPVR) or total (TAPVR). The syndrome associated with PAPVR is more commonly known as Scimitar syndrome after the curvilinear pattern created on a chest radiograph by the pulmonary veins that drain to the inferior vena cava. [ 2 ]

  4. Pulmonary vein stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_vein_stenosis

    Pulmonary vein stenosis can be congenital or acquired. [6]A rare abnormality that accounts for 0.4% of congenital heart diseases, congenital pulmonary vein stenosis results from the common right or left pulmonary vein failing to integrate into the left atrium (LA) during the vessel's embryonic development, obliterating the pulmonary veins partially or completely on one or both sides.

  5. Right-to-left shunt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_shunt

    5 Words: Total anomalous pulmonary venous return; A mainstem intubation with an endotracheal tube can lead to right-to-left shunting. [citation needed] This occurs when the tip of the endotracheal tube is placed beyond the carina. In this way only one lung is oxygenated and oxygen-poor blood from the non-ventilated lung dilutes the oxygen level ...

  6. Pulmonary vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_vein

    A rare genetic defect of the pulmonary veins can cause them to drain into the pulmonary circulation in whole or in part, this is known as a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or drainage), or partial anomalous pulmonary connection, respectively. [citation needed]

  7. Bidirectional Glenn procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidirectional_Glenn_procedure

    The circulation of a patient after BDG shunt placement requires adequate systemic venous return to support pulmonary blood flow. However, pulmonary blood flow, and thus oxygenation, is inhibited by high pressures or valvular obstructions. [1] Pulmonary hypertension (moderate to severe) is a relative contraindication to the bidirectional Glenn. [5]

  9. Congenital heart defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_heart_defect

    The defects may involve the interior walls of the heart, the heart valves, or the large blood vessels that lead to and from the heart. [7] Congenital heart defects are partly preventable through rubella vaccination, the adding of iodine to salt, and the adding of folic acid to certain food products. [3] Some defects do not need treatment. [7]
