Key Points

  • To evaluate treatment outcomes in patients with Scimitar syndrome and single ventricle physiology considering bridge-to-transplant therapy.
  • Evaluated a case series of patients with Scimitar syndrome
  • Analyzed outcomes following palliation and transplantation
  • Focused on complications associated with single ventricle physiology
  • Observed suboptimal outcomes despite the shift towards transplantation
  • Identified severe cases leading to challenges in management
  • Emphasized the necessity for further research to optimize treatment strategies

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.
