    A surgical case of 8-year-old boy with scimitar syndrome is presented. The patient was admitted to the hospital because of exertional dyspnea and underdevelopment. Cardiac catheterization revealed a large amount of left to right shunt and O2 step up at the level of the inferior vena cava below the diaphragm. Angiography showed that the pulmonary vein draining the right lower lobe pierced the diaphragm and emptied into IVC. At operation the right pleural cavity was entered and a large anomalous pulmonary vein trunk was found which headed downward and medially and eventually entered in the diaphragm. A direct anastomosis between the scimitar vein and left atrium was made. To avoid kinking or stenosis of this vein, the parenchyma of the right lung (S7) was divided to create a passway of the vein. Anastomosis was performed without excessive tension or kinking on it. We conclude that the method applied in this case might be a procedure of choice for the repair of scimitar syndrome especially when there is no associating atrial septal defect or scimitar vein drains into IVC at the level lower than hepatic vein.
