Superior Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect: Overview of Surgical Options

Background: Superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV-ASD) is an interatrial defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) draining into the right atrium. The principle for SV-ASD surgical repair involves redirecting the pulmonary venous blood back to the left atrium and closure of the atrial septal defect without compromising the adjoining structures. Methods: We revi...

Robotically assisted repair of sinus venosus defect.

Inferior sinus venosus atrial septal defect.

One case of inferior vena cava type sinus venosus defect is reported. It is likely to be missed on transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography is useful. Unlike superior sinus venosus defect which are easily visible on transesophageal echocardiography, a careful search is needed to detect inferior sinus venosus defects. All patients with unexplained right ventricular volume...

Surgical closure of sinus venosus atrial septal defect using a single patch--transcaval repair technique.

OBJECTIVE We would like to share our experience of surgical repair of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) using a simple "transcaval repair technique." METHOD Between January 2007 and October 2010, 48 consecutive patients of sinus venosus ASD underwent surgical repair using transcaval repair technique at our institute. Their ages ranged from 5 to 15 years and male to female ratio was 1.6...

Surgical repair after ineffective device closure of an inferior sinus venosus defect.

A young woman presented with severe heart failure symptoms 4 years after percutaneous device closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD). There was residual left-to-right shunting, and the device was obstructing the inferior caval vein and tricuspid valve flow. Intraoperatively, the ASD was shown to be an inferior sinus venosus defect, and reconstruction of the mitral valve and the posterior wall ...
