Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) was repaired by operation in 20 infants during a 10 1/2-yr period (1972-1983). Patients (5) died following operation. Factors that most affected mortality were the condition of the patient prior to repair, the year of operation and the technique used for repair. Operative mortality before 1976 was significantly different from that after 1976 (57% [4/7] vs. 8% [1/13], respectively; P < 0.04). Prior to 1976, the several techniques used for anastomosis of the left atrium to the common pulmonary vein involved displacement of the heart from its anatomical position. After 1976, a standard approach using a right atriotomy for access was adopted for all such repairs. Intracardiac type of TAPVC was repaired by pericardial patch to direct blood flow through the atrial septal defect to the left atrium. Supracardiac and infracardiac types were repaired by enlarging the atrial septal defect so that a transverse incision through the back of the left atrium was exactly overlying the pulmonary vein posteriorly. A large anastomosis of the left atrium and common pulmonary vein was made with the heart in its natural anatomical position, which eliminates the possibility of distortion of the anastomosis. A pericardial patch was used to close the atrial septal defect. Evidently, the right transatrial apprpoach of creating an anatomically correct anastomosis of the atrium to the common pulmonary vein is an important factor in reducing operative mortality in patients with TAPVC.
