The study reports a rare case of successful staged treatment of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return into the azygous vein in a 28-year-old girl. By occluding the proximal part of the azygous vein with a percutaneous approach, and then redirecting the azygous vein flow into the left atrium through surgery, this rare congenital heart disease was effectively treated.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return into the azygous vein is a rare pathological finding. We describe the case of a 28-year-old girl who had a successful staged approach to treat this rare congenital heart disease. To avoid potential connection of a systemic venous return to the left atrium, the proximal part of the azygous vein was occluded with a percutaneous approach, then the azygous vein flow was redirected into the left atrium with a surgical procedure.
