AbstractThe management of Scimitar syndrome in adulthood is controversial, with no guidelines for surgical correction. We present the case of a 66-year-old woman who presented late in life with Scimitar syndrome and a significant left-to-right shunt. We describe repair using an intra-atrial conduit from the anomalous vein to the foramen ovale, with a successful outcome.
