Abstract:
The present perspective is a synthesis of all published literature on selective vertical vein patency and adjustable vertical vein ligature in the setting of rechanneling of obstructed supracardiac totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) in order to decrease the episodes of perioperative pulmonary hypertensive crises, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome and mortality. Additionally, this manuscript attempts to address the guidelines for candidate selection for selective vertical vein patency in patients with obstructive supracardiac TAPVC.
