Repair of anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC) to superior vena cava (SVC) with internal pericardial patch may be complicated by the obstruction of the SVC or pulmonary veins and sinus node dysfunction. Moreover, the shrinkage of the pericardium may lead to late obstruction. Various techniques are practiced, which have reduced the incidence of obstruction to the venous drainage, but sinus node dysfunction continues to be an issue. We reviewed our experience with the Warden technique, predominantly in children, for various types of APVC to the SVC.
