Abstract

A 8-month-old infant with Darling' type Ib of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage underwent surgical correction. Common pulmonary vein drained into superior vena cava. Pulmonary venous channel was constructed between orifice of common pulmonary vein and atrial septal defect (ASD) with pericardial baffle drainage. Pulmonary venous obstruction occurred at the site of ASD and pericardial baffle was atrophic. ASD was enlarged and new pulmonary venous channel was reconstructed with EPTFE graft. Post-reoperative clinical course was uneventful.
