Cardiol Young. 2024 May;34(5):1124-1125. doi: 10.1017/S1047951124000623. Epub 2024 Apr 16.

Abstract

We report an unusual variant of obstructed supra cardiac anomalous pulmonary venous drainage where the vertical vein is obstructed by a vice formed between the persistent arterial duct and the left pulmonary artery.

Keywords: haemodynamic vise; total anomalous pulmonary venous connections; vertical vein obstruction.
