Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 34 (6), 2019
Publication year: 2019

Abstract Clinical data:

Infant, 7 months, female, referred to our department at one month of age, suspecting of congenital heart disease for further investigation.

Chest radiography:

Demonstrates cardiomegaly and prominent pulmonary vascular markings.

Electrocardiography:

Shows right ventricular hypertrophy and left anterior fascicular block.

Echocardiography:

Evidenced common atrioventricular valve with two orifices and the left superior pulmonary vein draining on the brachiocephalic vein.

Computed tomography angiography:

This complementary imaging exam was performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Diagnosis:

The patient presented an association between AVSD and PAPVC, a rare combination. The clinical picture of heart failure was preponderant, characterized by need for diuretics and complementary exams findings, and early surgical treatment was indicated.

Operation:

The operation was performed through a median sternotomy with 123 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass and 89 minutes of cross-clamping time. The patient had no postoperative complications, remaining 10 days hospitalized.
