Abstract
A wide variety of surgical strategies has been described to treat scimitar syndrome. However, the incidence of pathway obstruction remains high. An alternative approach is described, in which the pulmonary venous return is widely connected to the left atrium through a tunnel constructed with the in-situ pericardium.
