Abstract : Adults with congenital cardiac abnormalities surpass the number of children because of better assessment of cardiac anatomy and function, monitoring, operative options, patient outcomes, and increased survival into adulthood.1 Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return may present in adulthood, particularly if asymptomatic with small shunt fraction. One or more pulmonary veins, most commonly an anomalous right upper pulmonary vein, connect to a systemic vein or the right atrium; this accounts for 0.5% of congenital cardiac defects. Cardiovascular imaging continues to evolve rapidly for accurate preoperative evaluation and operative planning.
