Question

My friend’s child has been crying and fussing a lot recently. When they went to the hospital for a check-up, the attending physician said the child has complete pulmonary vein anomaly. I’m not clear about the etiology and treatment methods of the disease.

Answer

The etiology of complete pulmonary vein anomaly occurs during the early embryonic development stage, involving the connection between the pulmonary vascular bed and other venous systems. In further development, a careful treatment approach for the patient is required.
