  • Title: Robotic repair of sinus venosus atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and persistent left superior vena cava.
    Author: Lewis CT, Bethencourt DM, Stephens RL, Cline JL, Tyndal CM.
    Journal: Innovations (Phila); 2014; 9(5):388-90. PubMed ID: 25238426.
    Abstract:
    The presence of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and/or persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is usually viewed as a contraindication for robotic repair of complex atrial septal defects, such as those of the sinus venosus type. Three patients, aged 29, 73, and 23 years, successfully underwent totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted repair of sinus venosus-type atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and persistent LSVC. Two different techniques--direct cannulation or placement of a sump sucker--were successfully used to manage venous return from the persistent LSVC.
