|February 1, 1987
Abstract:
The case of an infant with the scimitar syndrome and pulmonary hypertension is presented. After surgical intervention with ligation of the abnormal arterial supply to the hypoplastic lung, the pulmonary hypertension disappeared. This was proven by cardiac catheterization after the operation. The abnormal drainage from the right lung into the inferior vena cava was not corrected. The child has had no complaints since except for recurrent pulmonary infections.
