VPS Rockland Hospital offers advanced TAPVC treatment using modern congenital cardiac surgery techniques and individualized cardiovascular care plans. Established in 2013, the NABH, NABL accredited hospital is located in Gurgaon, India and has 345 beds, providing comprehensive cardiac care for local and international patients.
Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins do not connect normally to the left atrium. Instead, oxygen-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart through an abnormal pathway. Surgical repair aims to establish a normal connection between the pulmonary veins and left atrium while closing associated abnormal connections that allow blood mixing.
At Life Kingsbury Hospital, TAPVC is performed using specialised pediatric cardiac surgical techniques and comprehensive preoperative cardiovascular assessment. Established in 1918, this accredited hospital in Cape Town, South Africa has 212 beds and offers advanced pediatric and congenital cardiac services.
TAPVC repair may be required in newborns and infants with different forms of abnormal pulmonary venous drainage, including supracardiac, cardiac, infracardiac, and mixed types. During surgery, the cardiac surgeon redirects the pulmonary veins into the left atrium and addresses associated atrial septal defects or other abnormal blood flow pathways. Echocardiography and, when required, additional cardiac imaging help determine the anatomy and guide surgical planning.

Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC) is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary veins, responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, are not connected to the left atrium in the way that they should. Instead, they are connected to other veins or the right atrium, leading to abnormal blood flow. TAPVC repair corrects this abnormal connection and redirects the pulmonary veins to the left atrium, restoring normal blood flow and improving oxygenation.
TAPVC repair is performed exclusively to surgically correct and restore normal blood circulation that happens due to a total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a connection to redirect the oxygenated blood to its proper route. This improves oxygen levels in the body and helps with signs like breathlessness, chest pain, etc.
The TAPVC repair is typically performed in infants, and the recovery process involves closely monitoring the child in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). The recovery may take weeks to months based on the child’s overall health state. A child may need respiratory support and medication to stabilize their condition. After discharge, the doctor will schedule follow-up visits to check for proper recovery and growth.
