Abstract

Bilateral partial anomalous venous connections are rare. Here, we present a patient who underwent the modified Warden procedure to reroute the superior vena cava with the partial anomalous veins to the left atrium and reconstruct the innominate vein and superior vena cava with a polytetrafluoroethylene conduit to the right atrial appendage. The procedure was successfully performed without using foreign materials in the pulmonary venous route. Furthermore, it prevented the obstruction of blood flow.
