Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is a congenital heart defect in which one or more pulmonary veins drain abnormally into the systemic venous circulation, leading to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can be supracardiac type, draining into the superior vena cava or right atrium (also called cardiac type) and infracardiac type with drainage into the inferior vena cava (IVC). We present two cases—supracardiac and infracardiac types of PAPVC in this case report.
