Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connec-tion (PAPVC) is a condition in which some, but not all, pulmonary veins usually connect to the right atrium or its tributaries. PAPVC may occur as an isolated anomaly or may be combined with atrial septal defect (ASD). It is present in approximately 90 % of patients with sinus venosus type ASD [1, 2]. There have been several reports on operative techniques for PAPVC and follow-up findings. Re-pair of PAPVC to the high portion of the superior vena cava (SVC) may be complicated by atrial ar-rhythmia and obstruction of the pulmonary veins or the SVC. We describe a case of a right-sided PA-PVC with small sinus venosus type ASD occurring in a 9-year-old girl. We adopted and modified th
