2. PAPVC/ PAPVR
Describe abnormalities associated with TAPVC/TAPVR?
Serious physiologic abnormalities
Describe the abnormalities and symptoms associated with PAPVC/PAPVR?
Mild physiologic abnormality
Cab be asymptomatic
What is TAPVR?
oxygenated blood returns from the lungs back to the right atrium or a vein flowing into the RA not to the left side of the heart (2 entirely separate circulations)
Common Sympoms in TAPVR
Cyanosis Pale, cool, clammy skin Difficult/rapid breathing Tachycardia Poor appetite and insufficient weight gain (FTT) Unusual tiredness or irritability
What is required for survival in TAPVR?
Large ASD or patent foramen ovale
What type of shunt is inherent in TAPVR?
Left to Right shunt (pulmonary veins to the right side)
What type of shunt is needed for survival in TAPVR?
Right to left shunt (via ASD/patent foramen)
Are the shunts in TAPVR cyanotic or acyanotic?
All are cyanotic
Compare the oxygenation in the four chamber in TAPVR?
Identical oxygenation in 4 chambers (w/ ASD)
TAPVR occurs due to abnormal development during the first ______ weeks of pregnancy, when the pulmonary veins are improperly connected
8
What are the 4 different types of TAPVR? How common are they?
Supracardiac (52%)
Intracardiac (30%)
Infracardiac (12%)
Mixed (6%)
What is the most common type of TAPVR?
Supracardiac
How do pulmonary veins drain in supracardiac TAPVR?
Vertical Vein –> Lt Brachiocephalic –> SVC
What do you see on the x-ray in supracardiac TAPVR?
Dilated SVC + Left verical vein (snowman heart)
Increased vasculature
Increased RV volume
What is the second most common type of TAPVR?
Intracardiac TAPVR
How do the pulmonary vein drain in intracardiac TAPVR?
Drains in to coronary sinus or RA
Increased pulmonary vasculature
What is overloaded in intracardiac TAPVR?
RV overload
What percent of I and II TAPVR survive to adults? (The rest die in the first year)?
20%
How do pulmonary veins drain in infracardiac TAPVR?
Long pulmonary veins course down the esophagus
Empty into portal vein or IVC
Veins constricted through the diaphram (obstruction)
What are some symptoms of infracardiac TAPVR?
Severe CHF (obstruction)
Associated with asplenia
Death in a few days
Asplenia
absence of normal spleen function
