  • Title: Correction of anomalous subdiaphragmatic inferior vena caval drainage of the right pulmonary veins (scimitar syndrome).
    Author: Tobin GR, Anderson RM, Arem AJ.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1977 Mar; 23(3):267-70. PubMed ID: 849037.
    Abstract:
    Correction of anomalous infradiaphragmatic inferior vena caval drainage of the right pulmonary veins can be repaired under conventional cardiopulmonary bypass by placing a circumferential tape below the diaphragm between the hepatic veins and the scimitar vein entrance. During repair, creation of an atrial septal defect in the distorted septal-left atrial junction of scimitar syndrome is facilitated by first incising the anteromedial aspect of the fossa ovalis to better delineate the optimal posterolateral margin. A case history illustrates the technique.
