Congenital total pulmonary venous return anomaly
MONDO:0007130Total pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) is a form of congenital pulmonary venous return where all of the pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium or one of its tributaries, instead of the left atrium, leading to various manifestations such as fatigue, exertional dyspnea, pulmonary arterial hypertension, cyanosis and progressive congestive heart failure.
Also known as: TAPVR, total anomalous pulmonary venous return, TAPVR1, anomalous pulmonary Venous return, scimitar anomaly, scimitar syndrome, total anomalous pulmonary VENOUS return 1

A second chance for the thymus: could reimplanting it during heart surgery shield immunity?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis pilot study tests whether putting back a child's own thymus tissue during heart surgery is safe and helps support the immune system. In some congenital heart disease surgeries, the thymus is removed to reach the heart, which may weaken immunity. Researchers will compare chil…
