An Alternative Method for Repair of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection to the Superior Vena Cava

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection and partial atrioventricular septal defect in an adult: Report of a case

“…Several methods have been described for the surgical repair of a PAPVC to the SVC. 8,9 Pulmonary venous connection to the upper half of the SVC is generally repaired using caval division and the cava to appendage anastomosis, which was fi rst reported by Warden et al 10 The pulmonary venous connection to the lower half of the SVC is preferably corrected using a patch diversion, several minor modifi cations of which have been reported. 8,9,11,12 The material of the patch, including untreated autologous pericardium, glutaraldehydetreated autologous pericardium, and ePTFE, may be associated with postoperative thromboembolism and late obstruction or stenosis of the newly created SVC or PV return routes.…”

“…To avoid these complications, in 1984, Warden et al [8] and, posteriorly, Gustafson et al [9], reported a technique in which the superior vena cava is sectioned above the outflow of the highest anomalous pulmonary vein and the distal or cephalic stump is anastomosed in the right atrial appendage. The proximal or caudal stump is then suturedthrough blind technique -in order to drain the anomalous pulmonary veins, through the sinus venous-type interatrial communication to the left atrium through the use of patch of bovine pericardium or similar ( Figure 5).…”

Sinus Node Dysfunction In Patients With Supracardiac Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection: A Prospective Randomized Study

“…При этом варианте коррекции для перемеще-ния устья ВПВ в левое предсердие также ис-пользовали ксеноперикард, при этом особое внимание уделяли фиксированию лоскута по верхнему краю за эндокард (трансмурально швы не проводились) [15]. После восстановления сердечной деятельности ВПВ косо пересекали краниальнее устьев легочных вен, каудальную культю ВПВ ушивали двурядным непрерывным обвивным швом во всех случаях.…”
