Surgical repair of inferior sinus venosus atrial septal defect

JT Sturm and JL Ankeney

A 9-year-old girl presented for cardiac evaluation with symptoms of dyspena, fatigue, and cyanosis with exercise. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated an atrial septal defect; an anomalous right superior pulmonary vein was suspected but not confirmed. Operation disclosed anomalous drainage of the right superior and inferior pulmonary veins into the right atrium, an intact fossa ovalis, and an inferior sinus venosus defect. Repair was accomplished by detaching the posterior edge of the atrial septum and suturing it to the right of the pulmonary veins, so that the defect was closed and all the pulmonary venous blood was directed to the left atrium.
