MD Black, FM Shamji, W Goldstein and HJ Sachs
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ottawa Civic Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

A 72-year-old acyanotic woman had development of acute right heart failure with systemic hypotension 2 hours after a curative right intrapericardial pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer. A postoperative pulmonary angiogram revealed a major left to right shunt through previously unsuspected partial anomalous venous drainage of the left upper lobe of the lung.
