Abstract

Connection of the right pulmonary veins to the azygous is an extremely rare variant of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. We describe one such case in the setting of an intact atrial septum. Surgical correction in such a situation can be challenging. We describe a successful surgical approach for this unusual variant.
