Extracardiac conduit as alternative repair for scimitar syndrome

Scimitar syndrome has been repaired by different surgical procedures including intracardiac baffle technique, reimplantation of scimitar vein (SV) to the right atrium or the left atrium (LA). However, several anatomical variations such as short venous collector coursing deeply within the lung hilum...

Sumario:Scimitar syndrome has been repaired by different surgical procedures including intracardiac baffle technique, reimplantation of scimitar vein (SV) to the right atrium or the left atrium (LA). However, several anatomical variations such as short venous collector coursing deeply within the lung hilum with infradiaphragmatic drainage make the repair more challenging with conventional repair techniques. We present an alternative method for repair using a tube graft to connect the SV to the LA.
