Beating the odds: a rare case of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) in an adult patient

Abstract: Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital heart defect, and patients are usually symptomatic at a very young age. Survival to adulthood without surgical correction is extremely rare. We report a 33-year-old woman with a heart murmur and a history of a successful pregnancy. Echocardiogram revealed a large atrial septal defect with suspicious pulmonary vein anomaly. Chest radiograph demonstrated classical 'snowman' configuration. Cardiac catheterisation was consistent with anomalous pu… Show more

“…Pregnancy is a state of high hemodynamic demand. Cardiac output rises up to 100% during the third trimester 5 , and it is therefore common for pregnant women to develop symptoms associated with otherwise silent congenital malformations. Pregnancy-associated TAPVC is rare and is even considered an indication for pregnancy termination 7 .…”

“…Its global incidence is 2/100,000 births 4 , and it accounts for 1-3% of all congenital heart diseases 1 ; the most common is supracardiac 4 . It is generated during intrauterine development and is caused by functional persistence of the primitive venous system 5 .…”

“…El embarazo es un estado de alta demanda hemodinámica. El gasto cardiaco se eleva hasta un 100% durante el tercer trimestre 5 , por lo que es común que durante la gestación las mujeres debuten con síntomas asociados a malformaciones congénitas de otra manera silentes. La CATVP asociada al embarazo es rara e incluso se considera una indicación de terminación del embarazo 7 .…”
