Autologous vascularised pericardial flap tunneling technique in Scimitar syndrome repair with dextrocardia: lessons from the Senning procedure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 January 2021
Abstract
Scimitar syndrome is a rare variant (5%) of partial abnormal pulmonary venous return. Surgery is required when pulmonary overcirculation is present. Following repair, Scimitar vein stenosis occurs in approximately 20%. We applied a variant of the atrial switch technique using autologous pericardial flap in a patient with Scimitar syndrome and dextrocardia. This tunneling technique allowed tension-free anastomosis and minimal Scimitar vein rotation.
