Abstract
This presents a case of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage from the right lung to the inferior vena cava [scimitar syndrome], which was corrected with an intracardiac approach. Autogenous pericardium was used to create an intracardiac tunnel redirecting flow from the anomalous vein to the left atrium through a surgically enlarged atrial septal defect. The postoperative results have veen satisfactory.
