The Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in the Diagnosis of Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return with Subsequent Amplatzer Device Treatment

Abstract

We report the case of a young girl with a mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous return (cardiac and supracardiac) treated sequentially by partial neonatal surgery, and then catheterization at age 19 with installation of an Amplatzer device as a treatment of the remaining anomaly. We describe the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in both the diagnosis and follow-up of this anomaly.
