MEDICAL TREATMENT
MEDICAL THERAPY
• Only supportive in managing TAPVC
• Intended to stabilise the patient before surgery
• Goals
✦ Correct acidosis and hypotension
✦ Fluid management
✦ Mechanical ventilation
• Prostaglandin
✦ Helpful in keeping ductus venosus open in infra-diaphragmatic TAPVC
✦ Other forms - Increases right to left shunting and systemic desaturation
CATHETER BASED INTERVENTION
BAS
• Short term palliation
• Indication
✦ Sick neonate with TAPVC
✦ Obstruction at ASD level
• Goal
✦ Improve mixing
✦ Improve cardiac output
✦ Relief systemic and pulmonary congestion
• Technically challenging
✦ Small left atrium
✦ Echocardiographic guidance is often helpful
• Success of a BAS
✦ Drop in pulmonary artery pressure
✦ Increase in systemic pressure
✦ Drop in systemic saturation
BALLON DILATION/ STENTING VV
• Occasionally performed to relieve obstruction
• Indication
✦ Sick neonates presenting with obstructed TAPVC
• Technically challenging
SURGICAL TREATMENT
PRINCIPLES
• Principle
✦ On CPB or Circulatory arrest
✦ Identify 4 PV, common chamber and dissect and loop vertical vein
✦ Achieve wide tension free non obstructing anastomosis between common chamber and LA
✦ Avoiding purse stringing of suture line
✦ Divert all pulmonary venous blood to LA
✦ Close intra-atrial communication
★ Patch Material
• Pericardium
• Dacron ( Polyethylene terephthalate )
✦ Ligate vertical vein close to insertion into systemic vein

OVERALL AND EARLY MORTALITYOverallMortalityEarlyMortality
VERTICAL VEIN LIGATION
• Proponents of Ligation
✦ Large left to right shunt with RV volume overload
✦ Requires additional procedure for closure
✦ No survival benefit
✦ Ligating the vertical vein close to its insertion into the systemic vein, the vertical vein adds to the
reservoir of the LA
• Proponents of Leaving the vertical vein open
✦ Serves as a pop off for the non compliant left heart
✦ Spontaneously closes over time
✦ Less turbulent immediate postoperative course, especially in obstructed TAPVC
Surviours - 12
Not ligated vertical vein - 10
Median Follow up - 4.7 years
Spontaneous closure - 5
Required Ligation - 4
Circulation. 2010;122:2718-2726
LA ENLARGMENT
• Proponents
✦ Increase in reservoir capacity
✦ Better LV Filling and Cardiac Output
✦ Decreased incidence of Pulmonary venous hypertension and reactive PAH
• Oponents
✦ Incorporation of common venous sinus enlarges LA adequately
✦ Patch material is non contractile
• Literature
✦ No significant difference in survival with LA enlargement

pulmonary venous connection. Ann Thorac Sure 1977
PFO
