Abstract

Total anomalous systemic venous drainage (TASVD) with no concomitant heart defects is an unusual condition. A 24-hour old female new born was referred to our center due to cyanosis and dyspnea. Color-Doppler echocardiography revealed a partial anomalous systemic venous drainage of the superior vena cava to the left atrium. Cardiac catheterization showed a total anomalous systemic venous drainage into the left atrium. The patient underwent corrective surgery at the age of sixteen months with excellent outcomes.
