“…The indications of pre-operative catheterization in most studies were the anatomy being unresolved by echocardiography, the need to characterize pulmonary venous obstruction, or the exclusion of major associated cardiac anomalies.

Echocardiography was the only diagnostic study in 43 patients.…”

The morphologic variations of mixed totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection are many and varied. In this review, we give an account of all cases previously described as mixed totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection, analyzing in detail those cases where an accurate anatomical description was provided. We identified 182 suitable cases, from 54 investigations, and reviewed the clinical presentation, anatomic variations, diagnostic features, and management of the patients described.Cross-sectional echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization, provided the necessary diagnostic information, and defined the anatomy before surgery in 139 patients. Magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomographic angiography had been used for further clarification of the pulmonary venous anatomy. An obstructive pattern of drainage, involving one or more pulmonary veins, had been described in over half of the patients. We then grouped the lesions into categories that have a bearing on the appropriate surgical approach, discussing the appropriate repair for each group. For the overall group, the operative mortality remains high, at 22.9%. We submit that an increased appreciation of various types of mixed totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection may well contribute to improved future surgical management.

“…The first attempt to correct total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage surgically was made by Muller in 1950, who anastomosed the left atrium to the common pulmonary venous channel (Muller, 1951). A semi-open atrial well technique was tried by Burroughs and Kirklin in 1954 (Burroughs and Kirklin, 1956).…”

“…In 1951, Muller reported the first surgical correction of anomalous pulmonary venous connection, in a patient with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, by attaching the left upper pulmonary vein to the left atrial appendage [4]. PAPVC is often associated with other cardiac defects, most commonly a secundum atrial septal defect type [2].…”
