Abstract
We performed successful emergency surgery on a 1-day-old infant to repair a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and a ductus arteriosus aneurysm (DAA) diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography. We anastomosed the common pulmonary venous chamber to the left atrium and ligated the pulmonary end of the DAA. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization done 3 months later showed that the DAA had regressed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the successful repair of a supracardiac TAPVC with a DAA.Entities:
