Abstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is reported to occur in 0.4 to 0.7% of children. Only 3% of these cases involve an anomalous left-sided pulmonary venous connection to the innominate vein [1]. In this video tutorial, we present the technique of reimplantation of the partial anomalous left superior pulmonary venous connection to the left atrial appendage through a median sternotomy and with a cardioplegic heart. We debate the merits of our strategy with respect to our ultimate goal of achieving long-term patency.
