Abstract

We developed technique similar to transcatheter treatment for superior sinus venosus defects to treat a patient with a Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection of the right upper pulmonary veins (RUPV) without an atrial septal defect. A double transseptal puncture was performed, and the left atrium (LA) was connected with the RUPV using a covered stent. The blood flow from the superior vena cava was directed to the right atrium (RA) using a second covered stent.
