The role of cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous return with subsequent Amplatzer device treatment.
We report the case of a young girl with a mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous return (cardiac and supracardiac) treated sequentially by partial neonatal surgery, and then catheterization at age 19 with installation of an Amplatzer device as a treatment of the remaining anomaly. We describe the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in both the diagnosis and follow-up of this anomaly.
