Infantile form of scimitar syndrome with contralateral pulmonary vein stenosis

I Ricardo Argueta-Morales et al. Pediatr Cardiol. 2010 May.

Abstract

Infantile scimitar syndrome (SS) carries significant mortality. Consistent management guidelines have not been well established, and outcomes continue to be disappointing. We present our experience managing an SS patient with complex anatomy who developed stenosis of the pulmonary veins contralateral to the hypoplastic lung.
