Several surgical techniques have been described to channel the right pulmonary venous return to the left atrium in the Scimitar syndrome which includes direct reimplantation, graft interposition, or repair. Because these techniques can result in pathway obstruction, Lugones has devised a technique which uses in situ pericardium to construct a wide tunnel connecting the pulmonary venous return to the left atrium. We report the use of Lugones technique in an adult with Scimitar syndrome
