“…Although a clear Qp/Qs cut-off is unknown, patients with Qp/ Qs greater than 1.5 or symptomatic PAPVCs are at high risk for post-operative complications, and thus should undergo PAPVC repair. Successful PAPVC repair has been described both prior to and during pulmonary resection with good success (3,6,8,12). For patients with asymptomatic PAPVCs and normal Qp/Qs, standard pulmonary resection is likely sufficient.…”

“…For patients with asymptomatic PAPVCs and normal Qp/Qs, standard pulmonary resection is likely sufficient. Finally, in patients with lesser resections and borderline Qp/Qs (ranging from 1.0 to 1.5), it remains unclear if PAPVC correction is necessary with reports demonstrating success with both approaches (9,12,18). A summary of this treatment algorithm is provided in Figure 2.…”

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections (PAPVCs) are rare congenital anomalies that are frequently asymptomatic in adults. When PAPVCs are encountered in the patient requiring pulmonary resection, improper management can result in fulminant right-heart failure and death. In this report, we note our management of a 70-year-old male who presented with a right upper lobe ground-glass opacity (GGO) and a PAPVC. We also provide a systematic review of all contemporary reports and provide an algorithm for PAPVC management in the adult patient requiring pulmonary resection.
