Rare association of two cardiovascular malformations successfully corrected in a single surgery: a case report

Abstract: BackgroundPartial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) without an atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with coarctation of the aortic arch is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. This rare combination is only described in a few studies; none report the correction of these two malformations in a single surgery.Case presentationA 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because the echocardiography revealed coarctation of the aortic arch; this diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography (CT), whic… Show more

“…PAPVC is a rare congenital heart disease rst reported by Winslow in 1789, Pathological studies show that this disease incidence 0.7% of the population [4],and research on the incidence of PAPVC has yielded a mixed bag of result, because many patients without clinical symptoms were not captured by the PAPVC rate [5]. Thus the true incidence of PAPVC is slightly higher than expected.…”

“…Most cases of PAPVC are from the right lung, and only 10%-18% cases of PAPVC from the left pulmonary are reported. PAPVC originating from the right pulmonary occurs 10 times more commonly than the connecting veins starting from the left lung [Mei 2017]. Few studies of anomalous connection of the left pulmonary vein to the coronary venous sinus have been reported [Ho 2014].…”
