Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) is a relatively uncommon cardiac anomaly. The diagnosis might be challenging as are the presenting symptoms. Its clinical course mimics more familiar diseases, e.g., pulmonary artery embolism. We present a case of PAPVD, which had been misdiagnosed for more than two decades. After establishing the correct diagnosis, the patient got his congenital anomaly surgically corrected and showed excellent cardiac recovery in the six months follow up.
部分性肺静脉异常引流(PAPVD)是一种相对少见的心脏畸形。由于临床表现不典型,其诊断具有一定挑战性。该病的临床过程类似于更为常见的疾病,例如肺动脉栓塞。我们报告了一例 PAPVD 病例,该病例误诊超过 20 年。在明确诊断后,患者接受了先天性畸形的手术矫正,在随后的 6 个月随访中,心脏恢复情况良好。
