Scimitar syndrome or Felsons veno-lobar syndrome is a very rare congenital disease characterized by a combination of cardiopulmonary abnormalities, including partial right-sided pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava, the inferior cavo-atrial junction, or low on the right atrium. We report the case of a 53-year-old female patient who presented with recent gradually worsening dyspnea. The diagnosis was suspected on the chest x-ray and confirmed on Cardiac echography andComputed Tomography scan that showed a wide collector gathering the three right superior pulmonary veins that joins the lower part of the superior vena cava, thus joining the right atrium while the right inferior pulmonary vein is drained into the inferior vena cava. The patient was treated surgically by performing a derivation of the right superior pulmonary venous collector to the left atrium with a tricuspid annuloplasty with a good outcome.

For atrial septal defect closure via right minithoracotomy in an adult patient with infra-hepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos connection, an alternative venous cannulation strategy was applied. In addition to bicaval cannulations to the femoral vein and the internal jugular vein, a 20 Fr straight cannula draining the hepatic vein was added to the proximal IVC through the right atrium wall via a working port. A bloodless operative field in the right atrium was afforded with bicaval encircling. Preoperative imaging test of the continuity of the IVC was important planning cardiac surgery with peripheral cannulations.

Abstract Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation that includes a partially anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins in the inferior vena cava, right pulmonary hypoplasia, and systemic-pulmonary collaterals originating from various segments of the aorta. We present a case of Scimitar syndrome with associated intracardiac lesions and a large arterial conduct supplying the right lung, originating from the abdominal aorta and draining in the inferior vena cava.

Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality resulting from right-sided pulmonary venous return to the inferior vena cava rather than to the left atrium. It is usually detected in early childhood with symptoms of recurrent chest infection and finding of pulmonary hypertension due to left to right shunt. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with scimitar syndrome discovered on chest X-ray during evaluation of recurrent pneumonia. Surgical correction was achieved with a novel technique of using a synthetic graft connecting the scimitar vein across the right atrium to the left atrium along with ligation of the scimitar vein connection to the inferior vena cava. The patient continues to do well 10 years after surgery, and the shunt graft shows good flow on echocardiogram. We present her clinical and imaging data and details of the surgical technique along with a brief review of surgical literature.
