I came across a congenital abnormality I had not previously  
encountered today.
While upending the heart for a pda graft I noticed what looked like a  
pericardial adhesion a 4 cm left of the IVC. I hoed into it with the  
scissors but could not find a plane so started dissecting and found a  
0.5cm vein connecting the coronary sinus to presumably the L lower lobe.
I guess it was an aberrant pulmonary vein?
