Disease Features partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Absence or low individual and public risk
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection - what does this mean
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a congenital heart defect that occurs when one or more of the pulmonary veins that carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart is abnormally connected to an artery or another vein instead of the left atrium. this defect can cause serious health problems and lead to heart failure if not treated.
What happens during the disease - partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a congenital condition in which one or more of the pulmonary veins do not connect to the left atrium, but instead connect to another area of the heart. this can lead to a right-to-left shunt, where oxygenated blood from the lungs is diverted away from the left atrium and mixes with deoxygenated blood in the right atrium. this can lead to an increase in pulmonary artery pressure, resulting in pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
- Diagnosis through physical examination and medical imaging
- Open heart surgery to repair the pulmonary veins
- Closing the abnormal connection with stitches
- Relieving the pressure on the right side of the heart
- Replacing the pulmonary veins with a graft
- Medications to reduce the risk of blood clots
- Follow-up care to monitor the heart's functioning
21 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection - Prevention
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is best prevented by early detection and treatment of any underlying congenital heart defects. as this condition is often associated with other heart defects, regular prenatal screenings and monitoring of infants and young children are recommended to identify any potential issues and treat them promptly.
