Abstract:
Objective: To describe the superior approach for correction of supracardiac (type I) total anomalous pulmonary venous return. Methods: From June 1998 to August 2001, total 11 of the supracardiac type of TAPVC were corrected by the superior approach. There were 7 males and 4 females with mean age of (5。33?4。98) years(5 months to 15 years) and mean weight of (15。09? 8。78)kg (6。4 to 33 kg). The total correction was performed under CPB. The top of the left atrium and the common pulmonary venous trunk were exposed through the transverse sinus and a direct anastomosis between those was done. Results: There was no operative mortality. No late death and arrhythmia occurred during follow-up period (4 months to 3 years). Conclusion: This superior approach for correction supracardiac type of TAPVC can afford a better exposure and a bigger orifice between the left atrium and the common pulmonary venous trunk and less injury. Therefore, the postoperative morbidity of arrhythmia is low.
