Abstract
We report the successful surgical closure of a persistent left superior vena cava remnant draining into the pulmonary venous circulation causing cyanosis in a post-Fontan patient who had previously undergone Damus-Kaye-Stansel and bidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection followed by a transcatheter coil occlusion of his persistent left superior vena cava.
