Absence or low individual and public risk
Congenital malformations of great veins - what does this mean
Congenital malformations of the great veins are caused by abnormal development of the veins in the fetus, resulting in abnormal connections between the veins and other organs or structures. these malformations can occur in any of the major veins, including the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and pulmonary veins. they can be associated with other congenital heart defects, and can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the type and severity of the malformation.
What happens during the disease - congenital malformations of great veins
Congenital malformations of the great veins are caused by abnormal development of the veins during fetal development due to genetic or environmental factors. this can lead to malformations of the veins, such as narrowing, dilatation, or complete absence of the veins, which can lead to impaired circulation and the potential for life-threatening complications.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Imaging tests such as X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound
- Blood tests to check for genetic disorders
- Cardiac catheterization to evaluate the structure and functioning of the veins
- Echocardiogram to assess the heart's structure and function
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the electrical activity of the heart
- Cardiac MRI to detect any structural abnormalities
- Pulmonary function tests to assess the functioning of the lungs
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treating Congenital Malformations of Great Veins
- Perform an ultrasound scan to identify the location of the malformation.
- Perform a CT scan to determine the size, shape, and location of the malformation.
- Perform a cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure in the veins.
- Perform a venography to identify any blockages in the veins.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and swelling.
- Perform a surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the veins.
- Perform a balloon angioplasty to open blocked veins.
- Perform a stent procedure to keep veins open.
- Administer anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.
- Perform a thrombolytic procedure to dissolve blood clots.

Congenital malformations of great veins - Prevention
The best way to prevent congenital malformations of the great veins is to ensure that pregnant women receive proper prenatal care, including regular ultrasounds and other tests to monitor fetal development. additionally, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and drug use during pregnancy can reduce the risk of these malformations.
