Transcatheter interventions for congenital heart anomalies are constantly improving. Although correction of anomalous pulmonary venous connection is routinely achieved through surgery, there are rare instances where the abnormal pulmonary vein has dual connections to both left atrium and the major systemic veins. Under these circumstances catheter based treatment might become a feasible option. We report a case of dual supply vertical vein connected to left upper pulmonary vein and innominate vein which was successfully obstructed by an occluder device leading to improvements in patient's condition.
先天性心脏畸形的经导管介入治疗正在不断改进。虽然异常肺静脉连接的矫正通常通过手术实现,但罕见情况下异常肺静脉与左心房和主要体静脉都有双重连接。在这种情况下,基于导管的治疗可能成为一种可行的选择。我们报告一例垂直静脉与左上肺静脉和无名静脉双重供血的病例,该静脉被封堵装置成功阻塞,患者病情得到改善。
