Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. Evaluation of 51 cases.

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is a congenital anomaly in which one or more, but not all, of the pulmonary veins are connected to a systemic vein or to the right atrium directly. Its incidence is higher in autopsy series than in clinical series. We report 51 cases of PAPVR diagnosed by cardiac catheterization and evaluated from the aspects of age, sex, type and associated anomalies and diseases.
