Abstract

Scimitar syndrome is a rare CHD involving anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and lung hypoplasia. Severe cases complicate single ventricle palliation, prompting a shift to transplantation. Our case series highlights suboptimal outcomes despite this shift, emphasising the need for further research to optimise treatment in this challenging population.
