title: Infradiaphragmatic totally anomalous pulmonary venous return with two separate descending veins in association with right atrial isomerism.
abstract: We present the case of a 1-month-old infant with right atrial isomerism and complex functionally univentricular heart disease, in whom totally anomalous pulmonary venous return drained below the diaphragm via two separate vertical veins. One of the descending vertical veins drained the entire right lung and the left upper lobe, while the other drained the remainder of the left lung. Only one similar case has been described previously.
