The unconventional surgical management of an infant with rare Scimitar syndrome variant

Scimitar syndrome is characterised by anomalous right pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava associated with right pulmonary artery hypoplasia. We present a case of an infant with Scimitar syndrome with a well-formed right pulmonary artery, in high Qp heart failure who was managed with right pulmonary artery banding after thorough haemodynamic evaluation.
