چکیده

Scimitar vein is the partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection usually draining lower pulmonary lobe to the inferior vena cava or right atrium. We present a scimitar vein anomaly in a 34-year-old woman with the uncommon association of a secundum type of atrial septal defect and atretic right upper pulmonary vein. She presented with increasing dyspnea for 2 months, however, she was asymptomatic in the past 10 years despite the presence of atrial septal defect. We describe its diagnostic and surgical approach.

In these individuals the entire venous drainage from the right lung enters a single anomalous large vein that descends to the inferior vena cava. This descending vein is visible on CXR as a curvilinear density along the right heart border and resembles the cu...

Atrial septal defect with right to left shunt despite normal pulmonary artery pressure.

A 74 year old woman had right to left shunting through an atrial septal defect despite normal right heart pressures. Acute volume expansion temporarily reduced the shunt. Contrast echocardiography and angiography demonstrated that this shunting occurred almost exclusively from the inferior vena cava. At surgery a redundant flap of septum secundum was found that was adjacent to the inferior vena...

Atrial Septal Defects in the Adult

Nomenclature and Classification There are 3 major types of ASDs or interatrial communications: ostium secundum, ostium primum, and sinus venosus (Figure 1A) defects. The ostium secundum is a true defect of the atrial septum and involves the region of the fossa ovalis. The ostium primum defect is within the spectrum of the atrioventricular (AV) septal defects (Figure 1B; also known as AV canal d...
