Abstract

Patient diagnosed with OS ASD (atrial septal defect) was taken in OT (operation theatre) for on pump ASD closure. Operation went smoothly and ASD was closed, while weaning off from pump we observed something unusual, while filling the heart we found that the CVP (central venous pressure) was raising constantly with no ejection and no change in systemic pressure. Later we found that patient had supracardiac TAPVC (Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection). So we decided to go on TCA (Total circulatory arrest) (1) which lasted for 36 minutes.
