Two cases of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return were reported in whom right pulmonary veins were totally drained to the coronary sinus and to the right atrium respectively. Re-routing of pulmonary veins was done by dilated atrial septal defect and making intra-atrial tunnel using equine pericardial patch. Postoperative courses were uneventful. MRI was useful to identify the pathway from right pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
