Autologous vascularised pericardial flap tunneling technique in Scimitar syndrome repair with dextrocardia: lessons from the Senning procedure

Alain J. Poncelet, Karlien Carbonez, Jean E. RubayCliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Bruxelles.Belgium Cardiology in the YoungCardiol Young 2021; 31: 859-861DOI: 10.1017/S1047951120004928 AbstractScimitar 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 […]
