Successful surgical management of total anomalous pulmonary ve-nous return in a pediatric patient

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) is an infrequent congenital heart de-fect, occurring in about 1 in 15,000 live births. The condition involves an abnormal con-nection where pulmonary veins, rather than attaching to the left atrium, drain into the right atrium or systemic venous circulation.
