Anomalous connection of the superior vena cava to the morphologic left atrium is a rare congenital systemic venous abnormality. As opposed to pulmonary venous anomalies, the significant right-to-left shunt in these patients warrants a correction early in life. Optimal repair technique for combined pulmonary and systemic venous anomalies is not defined yet. Herein, we describe a neonate with such a diagnosis treated with cavoatrial anastomosis, known as Warden procedure with excellent results.
