Case Summary
- Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) is a congenital heart defect where pulmonary veins fail to connect to the left atrium, instead draining into the right atrium or systemic veins.

Drainage can occur into the right atrium, superior vena cava (SVC), coronary sinus, or portal vein.
