Smaller right pulmonary artery is associated with longer survival time without scimitar vein repair

The optimal management of scimitar syndrome remains incompletely defined. We (1) evaluated the impact of aortopulmonary collateral (APC) occlusion, (2) compared outcomes according to surgical approach for patients who underwent surgery, and (3) identified anatomic factors associated with longer survival time without scimitar vein repair.
