Anomalies in Pulmonary Venous Return and Cor Triatriatum

  • Chapter
  • 1128 Accesses

Abstract

Anomalies of pulmonary venous return and cor triatriatum represent a spectrum of embryologically related lesions characterized by the failure of the pulmonary veins to unite normally with the left atrium. This chapter elaborates:

1. Anatomy

2. Indication for surgery

3. Approach and cardiopulmonary bypass strategy

4. Repair of the mixed type of total anomalous pulmonary venous return (video)

5. Repair of a cor triatriatum (video)

6. Sutureless repair of congenital pulmonary venous stenosis (video)
