Palliative stenting of the venous duct in a premature neonate with obstructed infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: In infracardiac, infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, all four pulmonary veins connect to a descending vertical vein that usually drains to the portal vein or one of its tributaries. Obstruction is common, and definitive treatment is surgical repair. We present a case of late-diagnosed infradiaphragmatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a premature neonate who was too high risk for surgery and underwent palliative stenting of the venous duct. We demonstrate the feasibility of a transhepatic approach when umbilical access is no longer available.
