The impact, and surgical implications, of isolated anomalous connection of one pulmonary vein
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2007
Abstract
Partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection of a solitary pulmonary vein in the setting of an intact atrial septum is often subclinical, and the indications for surgical repair are controversial. Here we describe a patient who developed a significant shunt over a period of 10-years. Flow through the anomalously connected pulmonary segment depends on the difference of pressure between the right and left atrium, and may increase with age.
