Image illustration of repair technique. (a) Lateral wall of SVC was incised from just above the junction of anomalous connection of RUPV to just below the junction of anomalous connection of RMPV. (b) Systemic and pulmonary venous blood pathways were separated by bovine pericardial patch. Creating dual pulmonary venous blood flow; RUPV and RMPV drained directly or through intra-atrial tunnel and sinus venous ASD into LA. SVC, superior vena cava; RIV, retroaortic innominate vein; RUPV, right upper pulmonary vein; RMPV (asterisk), right middle pulmonary vein; RAA, right atrium appendage RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; ASD, atrial septal defect
