Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
Treatment:
Early complete surgical repair is indicated. In surgery, the abnormal pulmonary vein is connected to the left atrium and the defect between the right and left atrium is closed.
Expectations (prognosis):
Early repair appears to give excellent results, provided there are no additional heart abnormalities.
Complications:
Calling your health care provider:
This condition may be apparent at the time of birth. However, symptoms may not be present until later. Call your health care provider if symptoms of this disorder are present, prompt attention is required!
