In this episode, we explore anomalous pulmonary venous return (APVR), including its types, associated conditions, and management. What is the difference between total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR)? How do supracardiac, cardiac, infracardiac, and mixed types of TAPVR differ? Which ASD type is most commonly associated with PAPVR? What are the physiologic consequences of right heart overload caused by APVR, and what are the criteria for surgical intervention? How is Scimitar syndrome diagnosed and managed, and when should surgery be considered for this rare condition? Lastly, we will touch upon persistent superior vena cava syndrome. Tune in for answers to these questions.
