Abstract

The preoperative evaluation of the hemodynamics associated with PAPVR and rheumatic mitral valve stenosis is necessary for successful surgical treatment, even though the incidence rate is rare. The purpose of this case report is to present the usefulness of CT and MRI for diagnosing rheumatic mitral stenosis and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the left innominate vein accompanied by the presence of the levoatriocardinal vein and evaluating its flow dynamics.
