Three patients with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the superior vena cava underwent repair by a rotation-advancement flap method. The technique consisted of atrial partitioning, enlargement of the superior vena cava, and protection of sinus node function. Follow- up studies of all patients were done between 12 and 15 months after the operation. The superior vena cava was not stenosed and its diameter was normal, as demonstrated by cavograms. Pulmonary venous return appeared normal on angiograms, and sinus node function was normal by electrophysiologic studies.
