PAPV (RUL vein to the SVC or RA)
Hypogenetic lung syndrome
(scimitar syndrome)
What is the causes of a PAPVC that may be occult
RUL vein to SVC or RA
What is scimitar syndrome (hypogenetic lung syndrome)
is characterised by a hypoplastic lung that is drained by an anomalous vein into the systemic venous system.
What is scimitar syndrome a combination of
It is essentially a combination of pulmonary hypoplasia and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR).
What side does scimitar syndrome most commonly occur
the right side
Where does the anomalous vein most commonly drain into
The anomalous vein usually drains into

IVC : most common
right atrium or
portal vein
What is the arterial supply of the lung
The lung is frequently perfused by the aorta, but the bronchial tree is still connected and thus the lung is not sequestered.
What are the MR findings of scimitar syndrome
CXR findings are that of a small lung with ipsilateral mediastinal shift, and in one third of cases the anomalous draining vein may be seen as a tubular structure paralleling the right heart border in the shape of a Turkish sword (“scimitar”). The right heart border maybe blurred.
Describe a supracristal VSD
The location of the supracristal VSD, with its close proximity to the aortic root, accounts for the common development of aortic insufficiency with this defect. Left-to-right shunting of blood through the defect is believed to progressively pull aortic valve tissue (especially the right coronary cusp) through a Venturi effect
What are the complications assoicated with supracristal VSD
Patients with small, isolated supracristal VSDs may have no symptoms or signs of congestive failure such as might be observed with a large shunt. Progressive aortic insufficiency may develop late in the first decade of life. Larger defects of the outlet septum frequently are associated with forms of aortic outflow obstruction (eg, coarctation, interrupted aortic arch). In such cases, symptoms of congestive heart failure and possible circulatory collapse appear early.

Patients with larger, isolated supracristal VSDs may develop congestive heart failure early in infancy due to a large left-to-right shunt.
Is it possible to have bilateral PAPVC
yes (the right side might connect to a vertical vein from the left BCV to the left atrium)
What do you see in scimitar vein syndrome on plain film
a curve-linear opacity leading from the RU chest to below the diaphragm
-Mediastinum deviated to the right (hypoplastic right lung)
-Elevated right hemidiaphragm (hypoplastic right lung)

between the superior vena cava and the left atrium
What type of ASD is easily missed on echocardiography
sinus venosus
What percent of pt patients with sinus venosus have an associated PAPVC
95%
Where is the associated PAPVC of sinus venosus located
RUL
What are the two surgeries for D-transpostition
arterial switch
atrial switch via baffles
What is the main complications of an arterial switch
pulmonary stenosis
What are the main complications of atrial switch
4
decreased RV function
shunts
stenosis of baffles
clots
Is the right ventricle still connected to the aorta after a baffle procedure for TGA
yes, a baffle is made so the blood from the left atrium goes to the right ventricle
Where is the aorta in relation to the pulmmonary artery in TGA
anterior
What causes the stenosis in the arterial switch for TGA
the pulmonary artery is moved to its normal posion anteriorly and this causes streching of the pulmonary artery leading to stenosis
Where is the aorta in relation to the pulmonary artery in L-TGA (corrected)
it is also anterior and to the left (hence L-TGA), but in this the left atrium is connected to the right ventricle (sort of what the baffle procedure does) so it is congenitally corrected
How would you describe the morphology of the infundibulum of the right ventricle
complete circle muscular infundibulum (see this on axial and wont be seen on the left) and the left is fibrous
How would you describe the septum of the right and left ventricles
right is irregular
left is smooth
What is the MC coronary atery origin anomaly
MPA
What are two ectopic origins of coronary arteries
MPA
ectopic aorta
What are 3 anamolous courses of the coronary arteries
anterior to the RVOT
interarterial (main pulm artery and aorta)
retrocardiac
What type of anomalous coronary course is associated with sudden death
interarterial
What is ALCAPA
anomalous left coronary artery for the pulmonary artery
What is myocardial bridging
the coronary artery within the myocardium
Where is Myocardial bridging most frequently seen.
Myocardial bridging is most commonly observed of the LAD
What is more important in myocardial bridging the depth or the length
The depth of the vessel under the myocardium is more important that the lenght of the myocardial bridging.
What is interarterial anomalous coronary
There is an anomalous origin of the LCA from the right sinus of Valsalva and the LCA courses between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
This interarterial course can lead to compression of the LCA (yellow arrows) resulting in myocardial ischemia.
What percent of pt with ALCAPA precent with CHF in the 1st 2 MOL
Approximately 85% of patients present with clinical symptoms of CHF within the first 1-2 months of life. (bc of MI's)
