TAPVC stands for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. It is also known as TAPVD or total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Normally, pulmonary veins join the left atrium. When it drains to the right atrium through one of the blood vessels leading to the right atrium, it is known as TAPVC. If only some of the four pulmonary veins join the right side of the heart, then it is called PAPVC or partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
