Pulmonary Venous Development
Coordination of lung and heart development
- 1. Formation of the primitive lung
- 2. Formation of the primitive left atrium
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg (2013) 44 (5): 792-799. Posterior view
- Common PV vein; bifurcates and
contributes to left atrium wall
- Septation of atrium
- Involution of systemic venous
connections
Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connections
Partial Total
Developmental consequence:
- 1. Lack of Myocardial Sleeve
- 2. Abnormal smooth muscle cell and myocardial differentiation in left atrium
- 3. Small left atrium
1.5% of all congenital heart disease Multifactorial etiology
- isolated sporadic cases
- Familial inheritance:
- 1. Identified TAPVC-1 region 4q12
Candidate genes include KDR and PDGFRA
- 2. ANKRD1 overexpression
Associated with syndromes:
- cat eye syndrome
- Holt-Oram
- Right Atrial Isomerism: TAPVC common
