A) Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return in a patient with CDH and a complete, unbalanced AV canal defect. In this angiogram contrast was injected into the pulmonary circulation via a Blalock-Taussig shunt. Levophase shows blood returning from the left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV) to the systemic innominate vein (IV) and superior vena cava (SVC). The left lower pulmonary veins (LLPV) drain normally to the left atrium. B, C) Echocardiography of a rare combination of heart defects in a newborn with CDH. Tricuspid atresia is shown by the thick, fibrous plate between the right atrium and ventricle (panel B). The child also had truncus arteriousus in which a single arterial valve and vessel give rise to the pulmonary artery and aorta (panel C) and an interrupted aortic arch (not shown). Abbreviations: Ao, aorta; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; TR, truncal valve; TV, tricuspid valve, atretic.
