Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or anomalous pulmonary venous drainage or anomalous pulmonary venous return [1]) is a congenital heart defect of the pulmonary veins. It can be a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein all four pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned, or a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection ...
Scimitar syndrome, or congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome, is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by anomalous venous return from the right lung (to the systemic venous drainage, rather than directly to the left atrium). [1] This anomalous pulmonary venous return can be either partial (PAPVR
Testing revealed that she had a rare heart defect known as PAPVR (partial anomalous pulmonary venous return) in which some of the blood vessels of the lungs attach to the wrong place in the heart ...
Tests soon revealed that she was suffering from PAPVR (partial anomalous pulmonary venous return), a rare congenital defect that affects blood flow to the heart.
In the pediatric population, the most common cause of clinically significant pulmonary vein stenosis is complete anomalous pulmonary venous return repair. [13] [14] Localized obliteration can occur further into the center of the vessel or at the point where the pulmonary vein anastomoses into the left atrium. [6]
In June 2020, she underwent surgery to treat a rare congenital heart defect called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, which the Mayo Clinic describes as when "some but not all of the lung ...
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) Some constellations of multiple defects are commonly found together. [citation needed] Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) Pentalogy of Cantrell; Shone's syndrome/ Shone's complex / Shone's anomaly
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]
