Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is rarely associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR). Unidentified PAPVR, however, might increase the risk of pulmonary valve replacement in repaired TOF patients by right ventricular (RV) dilatation and RV dysfunction. Here, we present a case of a 19-year-old male who received a correction of TOF 18 years ago and a rare type of PAPVR was identified during the follow up period. The anomalous pulmonary veins were connected to the left hepatic vein, left superior vena cava, and the right superior vena cava. Performing a pulmonary valve replacement, PAPVR was also corrected by an intra-atrial baffle with a new approach using the venous plexus between the left hepatic vein and the right hepatic vein.
