Intraoperative view of the two anomalous blood vessels.

The small arrow shows the 7 mm vessel passing through the right dome of the diaphragm (*). B - Inside the right atrium is shown. The large arrow depicts the orifice of the redirected 12 mm vessel, which is fixed to the right atrium just at the right side of the ASD (small arrow). A pericardial patch is used later to redirect flow from this new orifice towards the left atrium
