Modified Warden Procedure for Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage to Promote Growth

Extreme forms of partially anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with high entrance of the pulmonary veins into the superior caval vein can be challenging to correct without obstructing both systemic and pulmonary venous pathways. We report an unusual morphologic subform of this malformation and a surgical technique to address its specific anatomic peculiarities while maintaining growth potential of the venous pathways. We highlight that even such complex reconstructions can be performed minimally invasively.
