title: Repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in the Scimitar syndrome using vacuum-assisted venous drainage.
abstract: Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection with drainage into the inferior vena cava (Scimitar syndrome, SS) is rare in adults. Surgical procedures to correct SS often require circulatory arrest. We describe a method to avoid circulatory arrest using vacuum-assisted venous drainage.
