Intra-atrial Approach for Infracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection.

Patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection have various forms of pulmonary veins. Because pulmonary vein obstruction is a major and critical complication, it is necessary to create as large an anastomosis as possible while considering the positional relationship with the left atrium. Here, we report the case of a female neonate diagnosed with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and hypoplastic common pulmonary vein. The operation was performed by a sutureless technique in the intra-atrium. The patient was discharged from the hospital 20 days after operation with no complications.
