Objective To sum up the characteristics of draining path variation and draining vein stenosis through analyzing echocardiogram in patients with anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC). Methods The patients (n=221) with APVC confirmed by pulmonary venous CT or surgery were chosen from the Seventh Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Apr. 2007 to Nov. 2021, and their results of echocardiogram were retrospectively analyzed. According to child patients’ month age, all patients were divided into group A (month age≤1), group B (1<month age<6) and group C (month age≥6). The difference in distribution of total APVC (PAPVC) and partial APVC (PAPVC) were analyzed among 3 groups. According to whether APVC complicated by draining vein stenosis or not, the patients were divided into stenosis group and non-stenosis group. The difference in distribution of draining path variation was analyzed between 2 groups. Results Of 221 cases of APVC, there were 190 cases of TAPVC and 31 cases of PAPVC. TAPVC cases were more younger, and 67.3% of them with month age≤1 (P<0.01). There were totally 8 draining paths in 221 cases of APVC. The difference in distribution ratio of innominate vein draining path had no statistical significance between stenosis group and non-stenosis group (P=0.15), the difference in distribution ratio of hepatic venous draining path had no statistical significance between stenosis group and non-stenosis group (P=0.19), and other 6 draining paths mostly had no stenosis (P<0.01). Conclusion TAPVC was more common in neonates, and the patients with supracardiac TAPVC via innominate vein and those with infracardiac TAPVC via intrahepatic vein were easily complicated by draining vein stenosis.
