Abstract
Four infants with scimitar syndrome [anomalous pulmonary vein drainage to the inferior vena cava] are described. All had a systemic arterial supply to part of the right lung and 1 was treated successfully by embolization of this vessel. The role of the systemic arterial supply to the right lung in producing symptoms in infants with scimitar syndrome is discussed.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
