depending on the amount of blood flow through the anomalous connections. In less severe cases, with smaller amounts of blood flow, diagnosis may be delayed until adulthood, when it can be confused with other causes of pulmonary hypertension. There is also evidence that a significant number of mild cases are never diagnosed, or diagnosed incidentally. It is associated with other vascular anomalies, and some genetic syndromes such as
95: 33: 347:
During embryonic development, the lungs start as outgrowths from the foregut and share its splanchnic vascular plexus. At around 25 to 27 days of gestation, there are no direct links to the heart. By 27 to 29 days of gestation, the primitive pulmonary vein begins to form as an outgrowth from the left

which is a life-threatening anomaly requiring emergent surgical correction, usually diagnosed in the first few days of life. Partial anomalous venous connection may be diagnosed at any time from birth to old age. The severity of symptoms, and thus the likelihood of diagnosis, varies significantly

In TAPVC without obstruction, surgical redirection can be performed within the first month of life. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The four pulmonary veins are reconnected to the left atrium, and any associated heart defects such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal

It is sometimes treated with surgery, which involves rerouting blood from the right atrium into the left atrium with a patch or use of the Warden procedure. However, interest is increasing in catheter-based interventional approaches, as well as medical therapy for less severe cases.
916: 897: 143:. It can be a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein all four pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned, or a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein only some of the pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned. 242:
TAPVC with obstruction will clinically present with cyanosis, tachypnea, dyspnea, and hypoxemia. Chest x-ray may show a ground-glass appearance due to pulmonary edema resulting from increased pressure in the obstructed pulmonary veins.
231:, which occurs when the anomalous vein enters a vessel at an acute angle and can cause pulmonary venous hypertension and cyanosis because blood cannot enter the new vein as easily. 987: 344:
To understand the different types of anomalous pulmonary venous connection, it is important to establish the background in which normal fetal vasculature develops.

defect, patent foramen ovale, and/or patent ductus arteriosus are surgically closed. With obstruction, surgery should be undertaken emergently.
