Mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare condition, accounting for only 5% of diagnosed TAPVC. It is associated with a poor prognosis unless surgically corrected by connecting the pulmonary venous sinus to the left atrium and optionally dividing the abnormal connection to the systemic venous system. We report a modified technique of complete intracardiac repair of mixed supracardiac and cardiac TAPVC in a 3-year-old child without pulmonary venous sinus-to-left atrium anastomosis.
