Abstract

Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (APVD) is a rare congenital anomaly in which one or more pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium, inferior or superior vena cava, azygous vein, or coronary sinus instead of the left atrium. APVD can be divided into two different types: total (TAPVD) and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD). We present an incidentally diagnosed PAPVD in a type one aortic dissection patient.
