Eleven Years After Scimitar Syndrome Repair With the Lugones Technique: Usefulness of Four-Dimensional Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Anatomic and physiologic assessment of surgical repair of scimitar syndrome can be challenging. We evaluated the first patient who underwent the Lugones procedure in 2012 using 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging. With this technology, we demonstrate that the reconstructed right pulmonary venous return drains into the left atrium with laminar flow, just as normal pulmonary veins do.
