Abstract

A 2-years-old child with obstructive supracardiac Totally Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) underwent rechanneling of supracardiac TAPVC with an unligated vertical vein for post bypass supra-systemic pulmonary artery pressure. We describe here a new device, permitting adjustable ligation of the vertical vein which permitted us to avoid multiple reoperations. Computed tomographic angiograms during follow-up revealed absence of flow through the vertical vein and ruled out distortion of the left superior pulmonary and left brachiocephalic veins.
