Pulmonary ‐to‐systemic venous collateral in obstructed supracardiac totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Blood finds a way!

We describe a rare variant of obstructed supracardiac totally anomalous venous connection in a 7 ‐day‐old boy where the vertical vein was occluded and the entire pulmonary venous return was draining through a large tortuous pulmonary‐systemic venous collateral. The case highlights the importance of computed tomography angiography in demonstrating such complex anatomies in congenital heart diseases.
