Overview
Medical therapy are primarily used to stabilize the patient of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
Medical Therapy
Prior to surgery the patients have to be stabilized. It may be achieved by:
- Giving respiratory support by supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation[1]
- Inotropic support in progressive heart failure.
- High ceiling diuretics like furesemide for pulmonary edema
- Prostaglandin therapy to keep the ductus patent.
- Palliative angiography can be used to create atrial septostomy in severely obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
