Abstract
We present the case of a 1-month-old infant with right atrial isomerism and complex functionally univentricular heart disease, in whom totally anomalo us pulmonary venous return drained below the diaphragm via two separate ver tical veins. One of the descending vertical veins drained the entire right lung and the left upper lobe, while the other drained the remainder of the left lung. Only one similar case has been described previously. (C) 2000 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
