Veno-venous bridges: the forerunners of the sinus venosus defect

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...

Sinus venosus syndrome: atrial septal defect or anomalous venous connection? A multiplane transoesophageal approach.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the anatomical features of sinus venosus atrial defect on the basis of a comprehensive transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) examination and its relation to surgical data. METHODS 24 patients (13 men, 11 women, mean (SD) age 37 (17) years, range 17-73 years) with a posterior interatrial communication closely related to the entrance of the superior (SVC) or inferior vena...

Right 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...
