Background: In this study, we present our fifteen years of outcomes following surgical repair total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Thereby we sought to assess possible risk factors effects both hospital and late term follow up morbidity and mortality. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the Ege University Hospital between 2002-2017 by including all patients who were operated on with the diagnosis of TAPVC. Patient’s demographic data, preoperative medical data, operative findings and post-discharge findings, echocardiography and computed tomography results were collected. Results: The mean age of the patients was determined as 9±11.68 months. The mean weights of the patients before the operation were found to be 3720±2042 gr. Nineteen of the patients were supracardiac, 13 were intracardiac, 8 were infracardiac, and one was mixed type TAPVC. Mean cardiopulmonary by-pass time was 84.78±25.84 minutes and mean aortic cross-clamp time was 57.24±15.17 minute. Conclusion: Thanks to developed surgical techniques and medical care, nowadays, surgical treatment may be utilized with similar mortality and morbidity rates regardless of coexisting cardiac defects to all types of TAPVC at every age and provides satisfactory results in late term follow-up.
