Management of Systemic Venous Anomalies in the Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgical Patient

      Systemic venous anomalies are rare and heterogeneous entities. Although these anomalies are rare in the general population, they occur more frequently in the subpopulation with congenital heart disease. In and of themselves, most of these lesions have no physiologic significance. However, in the setting of congenital heart disease these lesions may significantly alter surgical treatment. This review is dedicated to these lesions.
