Abstract

We experienced a case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from right lung to inferior vena cava, which combined with Scimitar sign, in 18 years old female patient. Diagnostic procedures were simple chest x-ray, chest CT, and cardiac catheterization. We redirected the anomalous venous flow from inferior vena cava to left atrium through the intracardiac tunnel which was made with autologous pericardium. Postoperative course was not eventful.
