Summary

Surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return is effective. Most patients experience symptom resolution, with low morbidity and mortality, especially when associated anomalies are absent.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology

Background:

  • Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a congenital heart defect where pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium.
  • Management strategies for PAPVR vary based on the location of the anomalous drainage (left-sided vs. right-sided).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review surgical outcomes for patients with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different surgical techniques for left-sided and right-sided PAPVR.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 24 patients diagnosed with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.
  • Surgical repair strategies included direct anastomosis for left-sided drainage and patch redirection for right-sided drainage, with and without extracorporeal circulation.

Main Results:

  • Six of eight patients with left-sided PAPVR repaired without extracorporeal circulation had symptom resolution.
  • Two of eight patients with left-sided PAPVR repaired with extracorporeal circulation had one mortality due to associated anomalies.
  • All 16 patients with right-sided PAPVR repaired with extracorporeal circulation and patch redirection showed successful venous drainage (QP/QS of 1.0 in restudied patients).

Conclusions:

  • Surgical repair of PAPVR can be achieved with low morbidity and mortality.
  • Outcomes are often influenced by the presence of associated congenital anomalies.
  • Minimally invasive techniques may be beneficial for specific PAPVR presentations.
