Introduction
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare and
serious cardiac anomaly, accounting for approximately 1%-3% of
congenital heart diseases [1].
Supracardiac TAPVC is the most
common type [2]. The anastomosis of pulmonary vein confluence(PVC)
and left atrium is the key step of operation. Anastomotic stenosis or
distortion can induce progressive postoperative pulmonary venous
obstruction (PVO), which is associated with increased late mortality and
morbidity. In order to create a large and undistorted anastomosis, we
developed an modified anastomosis technique for repair of supracardiac
TAPVC in infants.
