Preserving Pathways: Strategies for Left Superior Vena Cava Management in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Of the methods redirecting LSVC to the right atrium, patency may be best preserved with an undistorted LSVC reunited with a retained CS or redirected by an intracardiac baffle compared with methods that displace the LSVC. Older patients with higher weight may have better patency rates with LSVC reconstruction.
