Intraoperative Collateral Drainage Evaluation Before Superior Caval Interruption in Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection Repair

Abstract

A superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection was corrected by a minimally invasive approach by permanently ligating the superior vena cava and a single pericardial patch for rerouting the flow through the enlarged interatrial communication. The patient had persistency of the left superior vena cava draining in the coronary sinus but no innominate vein. This anatomy poses a risk of developing right-sided superior vena cava syndrome. In this article, we describe our intraoperative strategy to assess the safety of this approach in such cases, which facilitates minimally invasive repair and avoids the most important complications of conventional repair.
