Intraatrial rerouting by atrial flaps for partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.
We report a new surgical correction technique using an autologous atrial septal flap and anterolateral right atrial wall in a 3-year-old girl with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and lower margin atrial septal defect. The patient recovered smoothly and is doing well 3 years after the operation.
