Repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with a minimal atriotomy

Jpn J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2000 Jun;48(6):370-2. doi: 10.1007/BF03218158.

Abstract

We present an alternative surgical technique for the repair of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the higher segment of the superior vena cava. Although the atriotomy is limited in this technique, a sufficiently large systemic venous chamber overlapping to the outside of the superior vena cava can be created.
