[Surgical correction of total abnormal drainage of pulmonary veins: analysis of existing procedures].
The total failing drainage of pulmonary veins (TFDPV) is characterized by absence of connection between pulmonary veins and left atrium in coincidence with preservation of embryogenic connections between the pulmonary and caval veins systems. TFDPV constitutes 1-3% of the total of the inborn heart failures. The results of TFDPV surgical correction in 80 patients in 2000-2007 yrs are presented. The comparison of the treatment results, using different variants of operative interventions for TFDPV, was performed. The optimized protocols for diagnosis and treatment were proposed as well as own improved surgical procedure for TFDPV correction.
