Sumario:The coexisting of oesophageal varices with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is extremely rare but contains a potential leading to a lethal haemorrhage. The fate of the oesophageal varices after total anomalous pulmonary vein connection repair remains largely unknown. We herein report a case with infracardiac type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with remarkable oesophageal varices. In the present case, of note, the oesophageal varices were completely regressed after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection repair without any intervention. This case might help a surgical team reduce the hesitation to repair the total anomalous pulmonary venous connection regardless of oesophageal varices, a potentially fatal condition.
