Figure 2 Gadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography in a newborn with mixed totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Subvolume maximal intensity projection image in the coronal plane demonstrates the left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV), left lower pulmonary vein (LLPV) and right lower pulmonary veins (RLPV) draining to a horizontal vertical vein (VV), which connects through a severely narrow communication to the portal vein (not shown). A cranial extension of the vertical vein (*) traverses through the right lung with a tortuous course that ends with a stenotic connection to the superior vena cava (SVC). The right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) drains into the cranial aspect of the tortuous vessel. AoD = descending aorta.
