NCIt definition : Total anomalous pulmonary venous return in which the pulmonary veins drain into the
right atrium via the coronary sinus.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) is a rare congenital malformation
in which all four pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium, but
instead drain abnormally to the right atrium by way of an abnormal (anomalous) connection.
In type 2, intracardiac TAPVR, the pulmonary veins come together behind the heart
and then drains to the right atrium through the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus
is the vein that normally returns blood from the heart muscle itself back to the right
atrium after its oxygen has been depleted. The coronary sinus drains directly into
the right atrium.;
