Key Clinical Message The vertical vein is sometimes left open in repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. It usually closes later but can remain patent leading to a significant shunt. We describe a recanalized vertical vein in a 7‐year‐old having undergone repair in infancy. It was closed using an Amplatzer device.
