title: Obstructed hemianomalous pulmonary venous drainage: is intervention necessary?
abstract: Obstructed infradiaphragmatic hemianomalous pulmonary venous drainage is associated with high mortality and morbidity, and treatment is best tailored to the individual patient. Resolution of an obstructed scimitar vein through collateralization has rarely been reported. We report two such cases and review the literature.
