Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a congenital heart defect in which the veins that carry blood back from the lungs connect incorrectly, not reaching the left atrium in the normal way.
Which specialist treats it? Because it is a malformation of the heart present from birth, it is usually managed jointly by the cardiologist, the pediatric cardiologist, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon.
What it involves: oxygenated blood returns toward the right side of the heart instead of the left, which disrupts normal circulation.
Warning signs: difficulty breathing, bluish discoloration of the skin, fatigue while feeding, or slow growth in infants. In the face of these signs, the indicated course is a specialized evaluation without delay.
