Introduction
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital
heart defect. Anatomically, TAPVR caused by the failure of connection
between left atrium and the common pulmonary vein, while resulting in
persisting communication between the pulmonary and systemic veins (1).
The incidence of TAPVR is 0.05 to 0.09 per 1000 live births accounting
for only 1.5% of children with congenital heart disease. Patients with
TAPVR are usually symptomatic at a very young age, and less than 7% of
them with surgical correction can survive into adulthood (2). Herein, we
reported a TAPVR adult patient underwent a successful surgical repair.
