Abstract

Obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) represents a true pediatric cardiac emergency. The patient may present in extremis secondary to severe pulmonary hypertension and cardiogenic shock which increases perioperative mortality. We present a neonate who underwent a successful staged hybrid approach for an Infradiaphragmatic obstructed TAPVC.

Keywords: infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection; obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection; vertical vein stenting.
