title: [Successful surgical treatment of total left anomalous pulmonary venous return with intact atrial septum--a case report].
abstract: A successful repair of total left anomalous pulmonary venous return with intact atrial septum is reported. A 7-year-old girl was admitted for evaluation of cardiac murmur which was first noted at 3 months of age. She had been followed up on suspicion of ASD, without any subjective symptoms. Physical examination on admission revealed a systolic ejection murmur at left sternal border. Chest X-ray showed mild cardiomegaly and increased pulmonary vascularity. ECG showed right axis deviation and incomplete right bundle branch block. Selective pulmonary arteriography delineated anomalous return of all left pulmonary veins to RA via vertical vein, left brachiocephalic vein, and SVC, and documented the absence of an atrial septal defect. Ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow was 2.2. Vertical vein was anastomosed to left atrial appendage under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative cardiac catheterization showed no difference of wedge pressure between bilateral PA. The patient is up and well 1 years and 6 months after operation.
