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.
