Abstract
An extracardiac repair technique is described for the anomalously conn ecting left superior vena cava in complex woofed coronary sinus syndro me. In this technique, the left superior vena cava is divided distally and is anastomosed to the right superior vena cava in an end-to-side fashion; in addition, the intracardiac anomalies are corrected. The ma in advantage of this technique consists of avoidance of the various di sadvantages of construction of a complex intraatrial baffle. (C) 1998 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
