The presence of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and/or persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is usually viewed as a contraindication for robotic repair of complex atrial septal defects, such as those of the sinus venosus type. Three patients, aged 29, 73, and 23 years, successfully underwent totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted repair of sinus venosus-type atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and persistent LSVC. Two different techniques—direct cannulation or placement of a sump sucker—were successfully used to manage venous return from the persistent LSVC.

Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) is usually associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) of the right pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava (SVC), or to the SVC-right atrial junction. Standard procedure for repair of this defect is a patch roofing of the sinus venosus ASD and rerouting of pulmonary veins. However, the presence of SVC stenosis is a complication of this technique, and SVC augmentation is necessary in some cases. We present a simple technique for concomitant closure of sinus venosus ASD associated with PAPVR and augmentation of the SVC with a single autologous pericardial patch.
