Abstract

In a young infant with divided left atrium, unroofed coronary sinus syndrome, and persistent left superior caval vein, the pulmonary venous blood was successfully routed, after atrial septectomy, to the mitral valve by constructing a baffle using the partially detached diaphragm which had initially separated the pulmonary venous and vestibular components of the left atrium. The baffle was augmented with a patch of untreated autologous pericardium.
