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.
