Q

_______ is a condition in which all four of the pulmonary veins are abnormally connected to the right atrium instead of the left atrium. This allows blood high in oxygen to enter the right side of the heart. Blood high in oxygen flows across an ASD, to the left ventricle, allowing some blood with oxygen to reach the body. Without the ASD, blood high in oxygen would not be able to reach the body.

occurs when absence of the right SVC & absence of hepatic segment of IVC

Q

What is TAPVR?

A

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a birth defect of the heart.

abnormal pulmonary veins connection which brings oxygenated blood back to RA instead of LA.

Normally, oxygen-rich blood goes from the lungs to LA and then flows through the body. In TAPVR, an abnormal connection of veins sends blood through the RA instead, where it mixes with oxygen-poor blood. As a result, blood flowing to the body doesn’t have enough oxygen.
