Abstract
AbstractDual drainage or double-connection total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare variant in which all four pulmonary veins enter a common venous chamber that then drains into the systemic veins via two or more channels at the supracardiac, cardiac, or infra-cardiac levels. The traditional classification of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) does not categorize dual drainage separately.We present a case of TAPVR with dual drainage in a 6-year-old child with a rare variety of connection.
