Abstract

Background and objectives:

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare cyanotic CHD that requires surgical repair. An unligated vertical vein after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery may help to decrease the episodes of post-operative pulmonary hypertensive crises, low cardiac output syndrome, and mortality. The aim was to assess long-term outcome and our post-operative transcatheter vertical vein closure experiences in five patients with repaired total anomalous pulmonary venous connection patients.

Methods:

A retrospective study was conducted in five cases with an unligated vertical vein following repair of supra-cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection at our hospital from 2011 through 2018. Patients characteristics, cardiac catheterisation findings, surgical, and transcatheter procedural details were retrospectively analysed.

Results:

Transcatheter closure of the unligated vertical vein was technically successful in all the patients. Procedure-related complications were not observed in any of the patients. No long-term complication was found.

Conclusions:

We suggest that transcatheter closure of the patent vertical vein is an effective and well-tolerated alternative to the surgical approach.
