[Clinical utility of computed tomography in diagnosing sinus venosus atrial septal defect].
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of 51-year-old patient after surgical closure of atrial septal defect several years ago. Enlarged right ventricle, right atrium and pulmonary hypertension were found on routine transthoracic echocardiography. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed sinus venosus atrial septal defect. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage was suspected. Only the computed tomography with contrast agent let us establish final diagnosis.

Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect Complicated by Eisenmenger Syndrome and the Role of Vasodilator Therapy
Sinus venosus atrial septal defect is a rare congenital, interatrial communication defect at the junction of the right atrium and the vena cava. It accounts for 5-10% of cases of all atrial septal defects. Due to the rare prevalence and anatomical complexity, diagnosing sinus venous atrial septal defects poses clinical challenges which may delay diagnosis and treatment. Advanced cardiac imaging...

We present a case of persistent left superior vena cava, anomalous right pulmonary venous connection to the right-sided superior vena cava and sinus venosus atrial septal defect detected by computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography and echocardiography. These defects were surgically corrected using a double-patch technique. In fact, CT can provide anatomical information about a complex ano...

BACKGROUND Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic arch, which might be accompanied with other coexisting cardiovascular anomalies. CASE REPORT Many cases with IAA are diagnosed at their neonatal and newborn period but in rare cases the diagnosis is not established until adulthood. The patients may have no clinical symptoms but the signs of heart failure ...
متن کاملRight Sided Complex Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return Associated with Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect
A 30-year-old male visited the Cardiology Department of our hospital with dyspnea and palpitation complaints. 2/6 systolic murmur at the pulmonary focus and fixed split S2 were detected on auscultation. Right branch bundle block was observed on electrocardiography. On transthoracic echocardiography, the right heart cavities were dilated. SVASD was detected on transesophageal echocardiography. I...
متن کاملPartial anomalous pulmonary venous return and atrial septal defect in adult patients detected with 128-slice multidetector computed tomography
The present series describes a group of adults with left-to-right shunts including partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) and/or an atrial septal defect (ASD) evaluated with ECG-gated 128-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). PAPVR is defined as a left-to-right shunt where one or more, but not all, pulmonary veins drain into a systemic vein or the right atrium. PAPVR involv...
