Abstract:
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a rare CHD that may present in the neonatal period with signs of congestive cardiac failure. First-line treatment is corrective surgery in the first months of life. The authors report the case of a 2-month-old infant with non-obstructive total anomalous pulmonary venous return submitted to a two-stage hybrid repair, involving cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology.
