      Abstract

      Description is given of a technique for the correction of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the superior vena cava associated with superior marginal defects of the atrial septum. This consists of construction of a tunnel within the cava to direct all pulmonary vein blood down through the septal defect into the left atrium, and then inlaying a pericardial patch into the superior vena cava and right atrium as a gusset to provide an adequate pathway for superior caval blood into the right atrium. This operation has been employed in 5 cases with very satisfactory results.
