title: Surgical correction of a case of common atrium with anomalous systemic and pulmonary venous drainage.
abstract: A case of common atrium with anomalous systemic and pulmonary venous connections and pulmonary stenosis is described. Surgical correction was performed by pulmonary valvotomy and the insertion of an intra-atrial pericardial baffle. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of surgical correction of total anomalous connections of both systemic and pulmonary veins. The embryologic development of this condition is discussed.
