Abstract
The article describes the types of correction of the supracardial form of abnormal drainage of the pulmonary veins. One of the methods of correcting this defect is the Warden operation, which includes: after sternotomy, connection of artificial circulation, cardioplegia, the superior vena cava is cut off, the proximal end is sutured. Next, a right atriotomy is performed, an anastomosis is formed using an autopericardial patch between the abnormal drainage and the left atrium through the ASD. Then an anastomosis is formed between the auricle of the right atrium and the distal end of the superior vena cava. As a result, blood from the abnormal pulmonary veins begins to drain into the left atrium through the ASD.
