Abstract
- Various surgical techniques have been reported for Scimitar syndrome, because of the heterogenous anatomy of the disease. We developed a novel surgical method to repair Scimitar syndrome, in which, a new pulmonary venous route is constructed behind the inferior vena cava using autologous flaps of the inferior vena cava and the interatrial septum. An adult case of Scimitar syndrome was repaired by this method with good results.
