Mixed Supra- and Intracardiac Totally Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection in an Adult Female: Pre- and Postoperative Evaluation with Emphasis on MDCT Angiographic Advantages.

All cases with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) were reported in neonates and children in the previous literature. This report describes the only case in which a mixed supra- and intracardiac TAPVC was discovered in a 25-year-old adult female and multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography was used in its pre- and postoperative evaluation. Multidetector-row computed tomography angiography is superior to echocardiography in showing the draining sites and courses of the anomalous connected pulmonary veins, as well as postoperative evaluation in a patient with mixed TAPVC. It indicates that MDCT angiography may be a more suitable diagnostic modality for use in the pre- and postoperative evaluation of the mixed TAPVC.
