Abstract
Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, involving some anatomical variations. Approximately 60% of patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome have a concomitant atrial septal defect, which is termed unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect (CSASD). The precise detection of these abnormalities has been usually difficult with conventional echocardiography, mostly due to its small and complex structures. Herein, we report a case with unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect, in which preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was useful in the operative decision making. We successfully repaired the defective roof of the coronary sinus with a bovine patch, while eliminating the inter-atrial shunt. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful with no residual shunt.
期刊介绍：
Authors of research articles should disclose at the time of submission any financial arrangement they may have with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision, but if the article is accepted for publication, the editors will usually discuss with the authors the manner in which such information is to be communicated to the reader.
