Abstract
- A 5-year-old child developed progressive cyanosis after a Warden procedure. Cardiac catheterization and CT scan revealed right superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction, reopening of a previously obliterated left superior caval vein, and the presence of venous collaterals draining into the left atrium. She underwent surgery to relieve the right SVC obstruction, which resulted in improvement of oxygen level.
