Correction of Adult Scimitar Syndrome Using a Lateral Endoscopic Approach with Robotics.

We present two adult patients in whom anatomic correction of scimitar syndrome (SS) was accomplished by redirecting the anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the left atrium using a reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft extension. A right lateral endoscopic approach with robotic instrumentation (LEAR) was utilized with excellent early and long-term results.
