A bstract We present two adult patients in whom anatomic correction of scimitar syndrome (SS) was accomplished by redirecting the anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the left atrium using a reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft extension. A right lateral endoscopic approach with robotic instrumentation (LEAR) was utilized with excellent early and long‐term results. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12560 (J Card Surg 2015;30:601–604)
