Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital anomaly that has four anatomical subtypes. In the supracardiac type, the common pulmonary vein confluence usually drains into the left innominate vein via a vertical vein; however, it may drain into the superior vena cava. Herein, we present a successful surgical repair of a rare type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which the common pulmonary vein confluence was draining directly into the superior vena cava without a vertical vein.
