Całkowite anomalousne powrotne żyły płucne
Etiologia i przyczyny
Całkowity anomalousny powrót żył płucnych (TAPVR) to rzadka, krytyczna wada wrodzona serca, charakteryzująca się nieprawidłowym połączeniem czterech żył płucnych z prawym przedsionkiem lub innymi naczyniami układu żylnego, zamiast z lewym przedsionkiem. W efekcie dochodzi do mieszania się krwi utlenowanej z odtlenowaną, co skutkuje hipoksemią. Występuje z częstością około 1:20 000 żywych urodzeń i stanowi 1-2% wszystkich wrodzonych wad serca. Etiologia TAPVR jest wieloczynnikowa, obejmująca zaburzenia embriologiczne w rozwoju żył płucnych w okresie 4-8 tygodnia ciąży, czynniki genetyczne (m.in. mutacje w genie PLXND1, dziedziczenie autosomalne dominujące z niepełną penetracją), a także wpływ czynników środowiskowych (ekspozycja na ołów, pestycydy, palenie tytoniu) oraz stanów matczynych (cukrzyca, otyłość, stosowanie leków teratogennych jak lit czy izotretynoina). TAPVR często współistnieje z innymi wadami serca, zwłaszcza z ubytkiem przegrody międzyprzedsionkowej (ASD), który jest niezbędny do przeżycia noworodków, umożliwiając przepływ krwi utlenowanej do krążenia systemowego.
Całkowite anomalousne powrotne żyły płucne (TAPVR) – definicja
Całkowite anomalousne powrotne żyły płucne (TAPVR) to rzadka wrodzona wada serca, w której cztery żyły płucne odprowadzające utlenowaną krew z płuc do serca nie łączą się prawidłowo z lewym przedsionkiem. Zamiast tego naczynia te łączą się z prawym przedsionkiem lub z innymi naczyniami żylnymi układu krążenia systemowego. W rezultacie, krew bogata w tlen miesza się z krwią ubogą w tlen, co powoduje niedostateczne natlenowanie organizmu.123
TAPVR występuje z częstością około 1 na 20 000 żywych urodzeń i stanowi 1-2% wszystkich wrodzonych wad serca.45 Jest to wada krytyczna, która bez leczenia chirurgicznego prowadzi do zgonu, zwykle w pierwszych tygodniach życia.67
Etiologia całkowitego anomalnego powrotu żył płucnych (TAPVR)
Dokładna przyczyna rozwoju TAPVR pozostaje w większości przypadków nieznana. Wada ta powstaje w wyniku nieprawidłowego rozwoju serca i naczyń płucnych we wczesnym okresie życia płodowego, szczególnie podczas pierwszych 4-8 tygodni ciąży.8910
Podłoże embriologiczne
Z punktu widzenia embriologicznego, TAPVR wynika z zaburzeń w rozwoju układu żylnego płuc i serca. W prawidłowym rozwoju płodowym żyły płucne łączą się z lewym przedsionkiem. W przypadku TAPVR dochodzi do zaburzenia tego procesu. Wada ta powstaje na skutek:1112
- Braku wytworzenia wspólnej żyły płucnej lub jej wczesnej atrezji
- Utrzymywania się pierwotnych połączeń między układem naczyniowym płuc a systemowym układem żylnym
- Niepowodzenia w procesie przejścia z prymitywnej do dojrzałej konfiguracji naczyniowej
TAPVR powstaje, gdy wspólna żyła płucna nie rozwija się prawidłowo lub jest atretyczna we wczesnej fazie rozwoju, podczas gdy utrzymują się połączenia między naczyniami płucnymi a systemowymi. W rezultacie, żyły płucne łączą się z układem żylnym systemowym przez pierwotne drogi kardynalne i pępkowojelitowe, zamiast z lewym przedsionkiem.1516
Czynniki genetyczne w etiologii TAPVR
Chociaż większość przypadków TAPVR występuje sporadycznie, bez wyraźnej historii rodzinnej wad wrodzonych serca, istnieją dowody sugerujące pewien wpływ czynników genetycznych:1718
- Zaobserwowano przypadki występowania TAPVR u rodzeństwa, co sugeruje możliwy wzorzec dziedziczenia monogenicznego, choć dokładny mechanizm transmisji nie został w pełni wyjaśniony19
- W dużej rodzinie z Utah-Idaho pochodzenia szkockiego zidentyfikowano dziedziczenie TAPVR w sposób autosomalny dominujący z niepełną penetracją i zmienną ekspresją20
- Badania sekwencjonowania całego eksomu u pacjentów z anomalnym powrotem żył płucnych wykazały wzbogacenie potencjalnie szkodliwych wariantów genów wysoko ekspresjonowanych w sercu człowieka w krytycznym momencie rozwoju żył płucnych21
- Gen PLXND1 został zidentyfikowany jako silny kandydat w patogenezie tej wady22
- Badania ekspresji genów u myszy i zarodków kurczaków wykazały, że receptor Pdgfra i jego ligand Pdgfa wykazują wzorce czasowe i przestrzenne zgodne z rolą w rozwoju żył płucnych23
Zespoły genetyczne związane z TAPVR
TAPVR może występować w skojarzeniu z określonymi zespołami genetycznymi:2425
- Zespół heterotaksji, szczególnie asplenia (izomeryzm prawoprzedsionkowy)
- Zespół kociego oka (Cat eye syndrome)
- Zespół Holta-Orama
- Zespół Downa
- Zespół Turnera
Szczególnie silny związek obserwuje się z zespołem heterotaksji z asplenią, gdzie TAPVR jest najczęstszą współistniejącą wadą serca.2627
Czynniki środowiskowe i ekspozycje
Badania sugerują, że niektóre czynniki środowiskowe mogą zwiększać ryzyko wystąpienia TAPVR:2829
- Ekspozycja matki na ołów
- Kontakt z farbami lub środkami do usuwania farb
- Narażenie na pestycydy
- Palenie tytoniu w ciąży
Czynniki matczyne zwiększające ryzyko TAPVR
Pewne stany zdrowotne matki mogą przyczyniać się do zwiększonego ryzyka rozwoju TAPVR u płodu:3233
- Cukrzyca matczyna
- Otyłość
- Choroby autoimmunologiczne
- Stosowanie niektórych leków w ciąży, takich jak lit (Lithobid) stosowany w leczeniu choroby dwubiegunowej czy izotretynoina (Claravis, Myorisan i inne) stosowana w leczeniu trądziku
Współistnienie z innymi wadami serca
TAPVR często nie występuje jako izolowana wada serca. W wielu przypadkach współistnieje z innymi defektami serca:3435
- Ubytek przegrody międzyprzedsionkowej (ASD) – jest niezbędny do przeżycia pacjentów z TAPVR, ponieważ umożliwia przepływ utlenowanej krwi z prawego do lewego przedsionka, a następnie do krążenia systemowego
- Inne współistniejące wady serca występują u około jednej trzeciej pacjentów z TAPVR
Należy podkreślić, że obecność ubytku przegrody międzyprzedsionkowej jest krytyczna dla przeżycia noworodków z TAPVR. Bez ASD lub przetrwałego otworu owalnego, które umożliwiają przepływ krwi utlenowanej do lewej strony serca i dalej do krążenia ogólnoustrojowego, przeżycie pacjenta nie byłoby możliwe.3839
Typy anatomiczne TAPVR
W zależności od miejsca, gdzie żyły płucne łączą się nieprawidłowo, wyróżnia się kilka typów anatomicznych TAPVR:4041
Typ nadsercowy (suprakardialny)
Jest to najczęstszy typ TAPVR, w którym żyły płucne łączą się z żyłą bezimienną, żyłą główną górną lub żyłą nieparzystą. Krew z tego nieprawidłowego połączenia spływa do prawego przedsionka.4243
Typ sercowy (kardialny)
W tym typie żyły płucne łączą się bezpośrednio z prawym przedsionkiem lub z zatoką wieńcową, która następnie odprowadza krew do prawego przedsionka.44
Typ podsercowy (infrakardialny)
Żyły płucne łączą się z naczyniami poniżej przepony, najczęściej z żyłą wrotną, żyłą wątrobową lub żyłą główną dolną. Ten typ prawie zawsze wiąże się z istotnym zwężeniem lub niedrożnością odpływu żylnego, prowadząc do szybko rozwijających się objawów obrzęku płuc i sinicy tuż po urodzeniu.4546
Typ mieszany
W tym typie występują elementy więcej niż jednego z powyższych typów anatomicznych. Poszczególne żyły płucne mogą łączyć się z różnymi strukturami.47
Ciężkość objawów klinicznych TAPVR zależy w dużej mierze od obecności lub braku zwężenia lub niedrożności w drodze odpływu żył płucnych. Obstrukcja ta występuje najczęściej w typie podprzeponowym (infrakardialnym) i prowadzi do dramatycznego obrzęku płuc i sinicy nieodpowiadającej na podaż tlenu, manifestujących się krótko po urodzeniu.4849
Czynniki wpływające na rozwój TAPVR
Podsumowując, etiologia całkowitego anomalnego powrotu żył płucnych jest wieloczynnikowa i nie w pełni poznana. Główne czynniki to:5051
- Zaburzenia embriologiczne w rozwoju żył płucnych i ich połączeń z sercem
- Czynniki genetyczne, w tym potencjalne mutacje genów zaangażowanych w rozwój układu sercowo-naczyniowego
- Współwystępowanie z zespołami genetycznymi, szczególnie z heterotaksją i asplenią
- Ekspozycja na czynniki środowiskowe i teratogenne (ołów, pestycydy, środki do usuwania farb)
- Stany zdrowotne matki, w tym cukrzyca i otyłość
- Stosowanie niektórych leków w ciąży
Warto podkreślić, że większość przypadków TAPVR występuje sporadycznie, bez wyraźnej historii rodzinnej wad wrodzonych serca, choć zaobserwowano przypadki rodzinnego występowania tej wady. W praktyce klinicznej TAPVR wymaga natychmiastowej interwencji chirurgicznej, szczególnie w postaciach z obstrukcją odpływu żylnego, które stanowią bezpośrednie zagrożenie życia noworodka.555657

In total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), the pulmonary veins incorrectly send blood to the heart’s upper right chamber. That chamber is called the right atrium. As a result, oxygen-rich blood mixes with oxygen-poor blood, as shown in purple. In a typical heart, shown on the left, oxygen-rich blood flows from the pulmonary veins to the upper left chamber, also called the left atrium. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare heart condition that’s present at birth. That means it’s a congenital heart defect. […] In this heart condition, the lung blood vessels, called the pulmonary veins, attach to the wrong place in the heart. […] The type of TAPVR depends on where the veins connect. Most children born with TAPVR have no family history of congenital heart disease.
- #2 About Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return | Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) | CDChttps://www.cdc.gov/heart-defects/about/tapvr.html
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (pronounced TOHT-l uh-NOM-uh-luh-s PUHL-muh-ner-ee VEE-nuh-s ri-TURN) or T-A-P-V-R is a congenital heart defect. […] TAPVR occurs when the pulmonary veins connect to the heart by way of an abnormal (anomalous) connection. […] The causes of TAPVR among most babies are unknown. Some babies have heart defects because of changes in their genes or chromosomes. A combination of genes and other risk factors may increase the risk for TAPVR. These factors can include things in a mother’s environment, what she eats or drinks, or the medicines she uses.
- #3 Total anomalous pulmonary venous return: MedlinePlus Medical EncyclopediaLockhttps://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001115.htm
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a heart disease in which the 4 veins that take blood from the lungs to the heart do not attach normally to the left atrium (left upper chamber of the heart). Instead, they attach to another blood vessel or the wrong part of the heart. It is present at birth (congenital heart disease). […] The cause of total anomalous pulmonary venous return is unknown. […] For the infant to live, an atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (passage between the left and right atria) must exist to allow oxygenated blood to flow to the left side of the heart and the rest of the body. […] How severe this condition is depends on whether the pulmonary veins are blocked or obstructed as they drain. Obstructed TAPVR causes symptoms early in life and can be deadly very quickly if it is not found and corrected with surgery. […] Some inherited factors may play a role in congenital heart disease. Many family members may be affected. If you are planning to get pregnant, talk to your provider about screening for genetic diseases.
- #4 Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) | Boston Children’s Hospitalhttps://www.childrenshospital.org/conditions/total-anomalous-pulmonary-venous-return
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), also known as total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), is a rare heart defect in which the blood vessels that drain the lungs (pulmonary veins) are not connected normally to the heart. Instead, the pulmonary veins are redirected abnormally to other chambers of the heart. About 1 in every 20,000 babies is born with TAPVR. […] In many cases, we donât know what causes TAPVR. It occurs because of abnormal development of the heartâs pulmonary veins during early fetal growth. Some congenital heart defects may have a genetic link, causing heart problems to occur more often in certain families. Most often, though, this heart defect occurs by chance, with no clear reason for its development.

In total anomalous pulmonary venous return, the pulmonary veins drain to a confluence adjacent to the posterior wall of the left atrium but do not connect to the left atrium. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) accounts for 1 to 2% of congenital heart anomalies. […] The infradiaphragmatic drainage type is invariably severely obstructed, leading to dramatic pulmonary edema and cyanosis unresponsive to supplemental oxygen that manifest shortly after birth. […] The other 2 types do not typically involve obstruction and lead to mild to moderate signs of heart failure and mild cyanosis in the first month of life. […] Diagnosis of total anomalous pulmonary venous return is suspected by chest x-ray and established by echocardiography. […] Neonates with total anomalous pulmonary venous return with obstruction require emergent surgical repair.

Total and partial anomalous venous connection comprises a wide spectrum of congenital cardiovascular malformations where one or more pulmonary veins returns to the right atrium or systemic venous circulation instead of draining directly into the left atrium. […] Understanding the normal fetal heart and vasculature development is imperative to appreciate the diverse array of anatomic variations and abnormalities. […] Failure of the common pulmonary vein or atresia early in its development, while the persistent of the connections between systemic and pulmonary vasculature, leads to the development of TAPVC. […] TAPVC implies that all the pulmonary veins connect to the systemic veins or right atrium, either by a common vertical vein or individually. […] TAPVC usually occurs as an isolated cardiac lesion, but it can also be associated with other congenital heart defects. The incidence of TAPVC is higher in patients who have heterotaxy with polysplenia or asplenia. […] In untreated patients, TAPVC is almost always fatal within the first few weeks of life.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a congenital heart defect. This means that your child is born with it. It happens as the babys heart develops during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. […] Most of the time, the cause of TAPVR isnt known. It may occur with other heart or body system problems. […] In TAPVR, the 4 blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart from the lungs arent connected correctly. […] This condition prevents oxygen-rich blood from being pumped to the body. […] Your child can’t live with TAPVR long-term because people need oxygen-rich blood all over their body. […] All children with TAPVR will need surgery.

Most congenital heart defects are caused by changes that happen early as the unborn baby’s heart is developing before birth. An unborn baby is also called a fetus. The exact cause of most congenital heart defects, including total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), is not known. […] Changes in the genes, some medicines or health conditions, and environmental or lifestyle factors, such as smoking, may play a role.

- #11 Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection – UpToDatehttps://www.uptodate.com/contents/total-anomalous-pulmonary-venous-connection
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), also referred to as total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), is a cyanotic congenital defect in which all four pulmonary veins fail to make their normal connection to the left atrium. This results in drainage of all pulmonary venous return into the systemic venous circulation. […] TAPVC arises from the failure of the left atrium to link with the pulmonary venous plexus, which results in the retention of connections through the primitive cardinal and umbilicovitelline drainage pathways. The anatomic variants of TAPVC are dependent upon which specific connections are retained. The cardinal venous system provides connections to the innominate vein, right atrium, superior vena cava, or azygous vein and the umbilicovitelline system to the portal or hepatic vein, or inferior vena cava.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a cyanotic congenital heart anomaly with abnormal drainage anatomy of the entire pulmonary venous system. This contrasts with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) where only part of the pulmonary venous anatomy is abnormal. […] The anomaly occurs secondary to an embryological failure of pulmonary venous development: […] Failure to completely transition between primitive and mature configurations according to this sequence results in persistent venous drainage from the lungs to one of several possible systemic veins. […] Approximately one-third of those with TAPVR also have other associated cardiac lesions; many have heterotaxy syndrome, particularly asplenia. Type III (infracardiac) is also associated with thoracic lymphangiectasia and pulmonary congestion.

In a case of TAPVD, this pulmonary vein either does not form, or, if formed does not connect with pulmonary venous system. This leaves the pulmonary venous system connected to the systemic venous drainage. […] If the pulmonary venous system is neither connected to the primitive pulmonary vein nor the systemic venous system, then it results in either an intra-uterine death or an early neonatal death. […] TAPVD most frequently occurs as an isolated anomaly (with normal visceroatrial situs). In contrast, patients with visceral heterotaxy of right isomeric type, always have associated TAPVD as the pulmonary veins will have to drain into either one of the morphological right atria. […] The three factors that primarily influence the timing of presentation and the severity of symptoms in infants are as follows: Pulmonary venous obstruction, Inter-atrial communication, Left to Right shunting.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is when all of the pulmonary veins returning from the lungs have an abnormal connection and drain anomalously to the right side of the heart instead of the left atrium. Supracardiac TAPVC is the most common type of anomalous pulmonary venous connection. […] Anomalous pulmonary venous connection results from aberrancies during embryologic development. TAPVC (no connection of pulmonary veins to the left atrium) occurs when the common pulmonary vein fails to develop or becomes atretic early in development and pulmonary venous blood drains via collaterals from primitive connections between the splanchnic plexus and the cardinal or umbilicovitelline system of veins. […] Genetic and syndromic associations include Cat eye syndrome, Heterotaxy syndrome (TAPVC most common with right atrial isomerism and PAPVC with left atrial isomerism) and Holt-Oram syndrome. A monogenic pattern of inheritance has been suggested. In a large Utah kindred, the gene for TAPVC was mapped to 4p13-q12.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare and critical congenital vascular anomaly that requires an early operation. […] This condition generally occurs without a family history and has a low recurrence rate, but several familial cases, including siblings, have been reported worldwide. […] The mechanism of transmission of TAPVR has not been elucidated. Although it has no known definitive genetic transmission pattern to date, a monogenic pattern of inheritance has been suggested from the numbers of reported family cases of TAPVR, including siblings. […] Several chromosomal or gene abnormalities associated with TAPVR have been reported. […] Until now, 42 sibling patients have been reported with TAPVR including the two cases presented herein. […] However, the majority of cases have insufficient data from which to draw conclusions about hereditary predisposition. […] Although no other abnormality was associated with a congenital disorder in our case, we proposed a genetic study for this sibling. […] We suspected that a larger genetic study was needed to determine the genetic background of TAPVR recurrence in siblings in Korea.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a cyanotic form of congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins fail to enter the left atrium and instead drain into the right atrium or one of the venous tributaries (summary by Bleyl et al., 1994). […] Bleyl et al. (1993) and Bleyl et al. (1994) reported a large Utah-Idaho family of Scottish origin in which nonsyndromic TAPVR appeared to be inherited as an autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance and variable expression. The family contained 14 affected individuals. […] Zhou et al. (2022) performed whole-exome sequencing in 144 Chinese patients with anomalous pulmonary venous return and 1,636 healthy Chinese controls and observed enrichment of potentially deleterious variants in genes highly expressed in the human heart at the critical time point for development of pulmonary veins draining into the left atrium.

In gene expression studies in mouse and chick embryos for both the Pdgfra receptor (PDGFRA; 173490) and its ligand, Pdgfa, Bleyl et al. (2010) showed temporal and spatial patterns consistent with a role in pulmonary vein development.

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) is a rare but serious congenital heart defect that affects the way blood returns to the heart from the lungs. […] While the exact cause of TAPVR is not fully understood, certain environmental factors during pregnancy may contribute to its development. […] Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of TAPVR.

Total and partial anomalous venous connection comprises a wide spectrum of congenital cardiovascular malformations where one or more pulmonary veins returns to the right atrium or systemic venous circulation instead of draining directly into the left atrium. […] Understanding the normal fetal heart and vasculature development is imperative to appreciate the diverse array of anatomic variations and abnormalities. […] Failure of the common pulmonary vein or atresia early in its development, while the persistent of the connections between systemic and pulmonary vasculature, leads to the development of TAPVC. […] TAPVC implies that all the pulmonary veins connect to the systemic veins or right atrium, either by a common vertical vein or individually. […] TAPVC usually occurs as an isolated cardiac lesion, but it can also be associated with other congenital heart defects. The incidence of TAPVC is higher in patients who have heterotaxy with polysplenia or asplenia. […] In untreated patients, TAPVC is almost always fatal within the first few weeks of life.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital (present at birth) defect. With TAPVR, all four pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium. Instead, the four pulmonary veins drain abnormally to the right atrium (right upper chamber) through an abnormal (anomalous) connection. […] All types of total anomalous pulmonary venous return must have an atrial septal defect (ASD). An ASD is a hole in the wall between the right and left upper chambers of the heart. […] Because of the abnormal pulmonary vein connection red (oxygenated) blood returning from the lungs mixes with the blue (lower oxygenated) blood returning from the body. […] In some cases of TAPVR, the route of blood from the pulmonary veins back to the heart may have areas of narrowing or obstruction. This obstruction may stop a normal amount of blood return from the pulmonary veins.

In total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), the pulmonary veins incorrectly send blood to the heart’s upper right chamber. That chamber is called the right atrium. As a result, oxygen-rich blood mixes with oxygen-poor blood, as shown in purple. In a typical heart, shown on the left, oxygen-rich blood flows from the pulmonary veins to the upper left chamber, also called the left atrium. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a rare heart condition that’s present at birth. That means it’s a congenital heart defect. […] In this heart condition, the lung blood vessels, called the pulmonary veins, attach to the wrong place in the heart. […] The type of TAPVR depends on where the veins connect.

- #41 Anomalous pulmonary venous connection – Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_pulmonary_venous_connection
Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (or anomalous pulmonary venous drainage or anomalous pulmonary venous return) is a congenital heart defect of the pulmonary veins. It can be a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein all four pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned, or a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection, wherein only some of the pulmonary veins are incorrectly positioned. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, also known as total anomalous pulmonary venous return, is a rare cyanotic congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins drain into the right side of the heart instead of the left, as is usually seen. This can happen within the heart (intracardiac) where it drains into the coronary sinus or right atrium, or below it (infracardiac) where it drains into the liver at the portal or hepatic vein. The anomalous connection causes low blood oxygenation and limitation of venous return to the heart. […] It is less severe than total anomalous pulmonary venous connection which is a life-threatening anomaly requiring emergent surgical correction, usually diagnosed in the first few days of life.
- #42 Supracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return | Pediatric Echocardiographyhttps://pedecho.org/library/chd/tapvr
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is when all of the pulmonary veins returning from the lungs have an abnormal connection and drain anomalously to the right side of the heart instead of the left atrium. Supracardiac TAPVC is the most common type of anomalous pulmonary venous connection. […] Anomalous pulmonary venous connection results from aberrancies during embryologic development. TAPVC (no connection of pulmonary veins to the left atrium) occurs when the common pulmonary vein fails to develop or becomes atretic early in development and pulmonary venous blood drains via collaterals from primitive connections between the splanchnic plexus and the cardinal or umbilicovitelline system of veins. […] Genetic and syndromic associations include Cat eye syndrome, Heterotaxy syndrome (TAPVC most common with right atrial isomerism and PAPVC with left atrial isomerism) and Holt-Oram syndrome. A monogenic pattern of inheritance has been suggested. In a large Utah kindred, the gene for TAPVC was mapped to 4p13-q12.
- #43 Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection – UpToDatehttps://www.uptodate.com/contents/total-anomalous-pulmonary-venous-connection
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), also referred to as total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), is a cyanotic congenital defect in which all four pulmonary veins fail to make their normal connection to the left atrium. This results in drainage of all pulmonary venous return into the systemic venous circulation. […] TAPVC arises from the failure of the left atrium to link with the pulmonary venous plexus, which results in the retention of connections through the primitive cardinal and umbilicovitelline drainage pathways. The anatomic variants of TAPVC are dependent upon which specific connections are retained. The cardinal venous system provides connections to the innominate vein, right atrium, superior vena cava, or azygous vein and the umbilicovitelline system to the portal or hepatic vein, or inferior vena cava.

In total anomalous pulmonary venous return, the pulmonary veins, blood vessels that normally carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart, connect instead to the right side of the heart. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) accounts for 1 to 2% of birth defects of the heart. […] In infants born with TAPVR, the pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium and connect instead by an abnormal pathway eventually leading to the right atrium. […] The pulmonary veins do not connect to the left atrium; instead, the entire pulmonary venous return enters systemic venous circulation through various connections (in this case the connecting vein is supracardiac or above the heart). […] Systemic blood flow depends on right-to-left atrial shunting.
- #45 TAPVR | Types, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatmenthttps://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/t/tapvr
Obstructed pulmonary veins commonly occur in the infracardiac type of TAPVR. It can occur with the other anatomic types as well. […] Total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a defect that needs surgery to fix. […] Rarely, TAPVR is complicated by a restrictive atrial septal defect. This means the hole in the atrial septum is not big enough to let enough blood through to the left side. […] The surgical repair connects all of the veins to the back of the left atrium. This leads to a normal connection of pulmonary veins to left atrium. […] Rare complications of TAPVR can occur late after surgery. Regular follow up by a qualified cardiologist is needed to detect these problems early if they occur. […] Rarely, obstruction to one or more pulmonary veins can develop. This can occur at the site of surgical repair, or due to abnormalities of the pulmonary veins themselves.

In a case of TAPVD, this pulmonary vein either does not form, or, if formed does not connect with pulmonary venous system. This leaves the pulmonary venous system connected to the systemic venous drainage. […] If the pulmonary venous system is neither connected to the primitive pulmonary vein nor the systemic venous system, then it results in either an intra-uterine death or an early neonatal death. […] TAPVD most frequently occurs as an isolated anomaly (with normal visceroatrial situs). In contrast, patients with visceral heterotaxy of right isomeric type, always have associated TAPVD as the pulmonary veins will have to drain into either one of the morphological right atria. […] The three factors that primarily influence the timing of presentation and the severity of symptoms in infants are as follows: Pulmonary venous obstruction, Inter-atrial communication, Left to Right shunting.
