Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with ventricular septal defects

Abstract

The association of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with ventricular septal defect and aortic coarctation is rare. A premature neonate weighing 1350 g was diagnosed with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, aortic coarctation, and a perimembranous ventricular septal defect. On postnatal day 23, we performed emergency extended aortic arch anastomosis under total circulatory arrest, pulmonary venous connection repair using a primary sutureless technique, and patch closure of the atrial septal and perimembranous ventricular septal defects. The patient was discharged without complications. Postoperative echocardiography showed no residual coarctation or pulmonary venous obstruction and revealed small muscular ventricular septal defects.
