Stenosis of the coronary sinus ostium. An unusual site of obstruction in total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage
E Arciniegas, JG Henry and EW Green
A patient with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary
sinus and stenosis of the right atrial opening of the coronary sinus is
described. While the initial studies were compatible with increased
pulmonary blood flow, subsequent evaluation demonstrated severe pulmonary
venous obstruction. Successful operative correction was performed.
