Abstract

We describe an extremely rare case of a 15-year-old female, who underwent a complete repair for transitional atrioventricular canal with Scimitar syndrome by a two-patch technique including translocation of the Scimitar vein. This surgical technique offered superior patch shapes in order to better repair both anomalies.

Keywords: Adolescent; Scimitar syndrome; patch technique; transitional atrioventricular canal; translocation.
