      Abstract

      Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly. Prognosis is poor in infants with this lesion unless surgical treatment is employed early. Successful repair of TAPVD into the inferior vena cava is reported in a 7-week-old infant by utilization of a temporary cardiopulmonary bypass. The common venous trunk was divided at the level of the diaphragm and anastomosed to the posterior aspect of the left atrium. Closure of a patent foramen ovale completed the repair.
      Results of complete correction of various types of TAPVD in our series of 38 patients is reviewed. Over-all mortality was 39 per cent, but 13 of the 15 deaths were of critically ill infants less than 1 year of age. Results of operation in older children were excellent.
