  • Title: Systemic arterial supply of the right lung with venous drainage to the pulmonary arterial circuit.
    Author: Fritsch P, Smolle-Juettner FM, Gamillscheg A.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2011 Dec; 21(6):710-2. PubMed ID: 21729502.
    Abstract:
    In a girl suffering from "Scimitar syndrome", a rerouting of the scimitar vein was performed at the age of 6 years, but no embolisation of the aberrant systemic vessel was done. She presented with recurring respiratory problems 13 years later. An angiography revealed an invert flow from the aberrant systemic vessel via the right pulmonary artery into the left pulmonary artery. After pneumonectomy, she recovered well.
