title: [Surgical treatment for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection of Darling type Ib and IIb, using SVC-appendage anastomosis and pedicled right atrial flap].
abstract: A eight-day-old girl with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection of type I b + IIb underwent a total correction. Right atrium (RA) was entered through a vertical incision. Atrial septal defect (ASD) in the caudal aspect of fossa ovalis was enlarged by cutting the primum tissue. RA flap was sutured to ASD and intracardiac orifice margin of SVC to create a roof of pulmonary venous channel. SVC just cranial to entrance of common pulmonary vein was oversewn. Anastomosis between the cephalad SVC and opened right atrial appendage was made. Postoperative angiography showed wide PV channel and SVC channel.
