A Rare Case of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection in an Adult
Dr. Rohit Gupta, Dr. Saravana Kumaran G
Abstract: Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) is an uncommon congenital heart condition found infrequently among adults. Here, we discuss the case of a 32 - year - old male who presented with a history of progressive dyspnea and fatigue. Diagnostic evaluation revealed TAPVC with abnormal venous drainage into the right atrium, posing significant hemodynamic challenges. Surgical intervention was promptly undertaken to redirect the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, restoring normal blood flow. This case highlights the critical importance of considering congenital heart anomalies in adults presenting with cardiac symptoms, and emphasizes the complexities and specific management strategies required for TAPVC in this age group. Early detection through comprehensive imaging studies and prompt surgical correction are crucial in achieving favorable outcomes for adult patients diagnosed with TAPVC.
