Overview
In patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, cardiac catheterization can be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality. However, with availability of better non-invasive tools the use of these are decreasing.

Cardiac Catheterization
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization may be used a diagnostic tool to assess the severity of a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. However, due to the availability of cheaper, non-invasive diagnostic tools like echocardiography angiographies are not very frequently used as a diagnostic tool. These are used in case the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive.
Therapeutic catheterization is done to create atrial septostomy (palliative).
The footage below exemplifies the usage of cardiac catheterization to identify this defect.
