Abstract
Ten cases of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, all presenting at or below the age of eight weeks, are presented: three below the diaphragm, two to the coronary sinus, one to the right atrium, three to the left vertical vein, and one to the right superior vena cava. Six patients had other cardiac anomalies, and surgical mortality represented 75%. A review of the subject is presented.
