Abstract

We hereby describe a rare case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). It is imperative to identify PAPVC preoperatively in patients with TOF as it can have significant hemodynamic outcomes. This case highlights the importance of computed tomography angiography in demonstrating the same.

Keywords: congenital heart disease.
