1 Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection to the Supradiaphragmatic Inferior Vena Cava 
Anna N. Seale, MBBChir, Hideki Uemura, MD, Babulal Sethia, FRCS, Alan G. Magee, MBBS, Siew Yen Ho, PhD, Piers E.F. Daubeney, MA, MRCP  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 85, Issue 3, Pages (March 2008) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Line drawing of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) to the inferior vena cava (IVC). (LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle; SVC = superior vena cava.)

3 Fig 2 Echocardiographic images of (a, b) total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and for comparison, (c, d) TAPVC to coronary sinus. (a, c) Parasternal long-axis view showing the inferior and posterior position of the pulmonary venous confluence (<) in both cases. In TAPVC to IVC, a separate coronary sinus (CS) can be seen. (b, d) Subcostal view also illustrates how these diagnoses may be confused, suggesting that the pulmonary veins (*) drain into a dilated coronary sinus. In fact, (b) in TAPVC to IVC, the veins form a confluence draining into the proximal portion of the IVC.

4 Fig 3 Echocardiogram showing total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) to coronary sinus: parasternal long-axis with inferior tilt illustrating direct connection between the pulmonary veins (*), coronary sinus (CS), and right atrium (RA) in TAPVC to the CS.
