Case Report

Accepted for publication April 14, 1996.

We applied a surgical method with an inverted flap of the left atrial appendage to construct an internal conduit in a 4-year-old girl with a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium associated with an atrial septal defect. The remaining defect of the septum was closed with autologous pericardium. The short-term result is satisfactory, although the long-term result remains to be ascertained.
