Official Title: Proposal for Retrospective Review of Descending Aortic Flow Reversal in Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection
Brief Summary:
This is a retrospective review of charts and echocardiograms of our patients with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC). The Children's Surgical and non-invasive Echo databases will be used to determine all TAPVC patients. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Sibley Heart Center Cardiology charts and echocardiograms of the TAPVC patients between January 1, 2002 and November 26, 2006 will be reviewed. We anticipate approximately 40 patients.
We hypothesize that the presence of descending aortic flow reversal correlates with a higher morbidity and mortality in TAPVC.
