The surgical experience in 13 infants with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) between 1987 and 1991 is reviewed. The age vary from 2 days to 35 months with a weight at intervention from 2.130 kg to 5.400 kg. The types of TAPVC were supracardiac in 4 patients, cardiac in 4, and infracardiac in 5. Seven patients (54%) were operated on in emergency. Cardiopulmonary bypass consisted of profound hypothermia and total circulatory arrest in 8 patients (60%) and continuous hypothermic bypass with low flow for the remaining 5 patients (40%). There was no operative death. The follow-up ranges from 21 to 58 months, mean 40 months. There was one reoperation. All the patients were asymptomatic and the height growth percentile is less than 5% in 20%, and the weight growth percentile is less than 5% in 30%. The early repair of infants born with TAPVC can be done with low morbidity with a good prospect on medium term follow-up. |
