Unroofed coronary sinus newly diagnosed in adult patients after corrected congenital heart disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with congenital heart disease corrected in early childhood may later in life present with cardiac symptoms caused by other associated congenital anomalies that were initially not diagnosed. Nowadays, several noninvasive imaging modalities are available for the visualisation of cardiac anatomy in great detail. We describe two patients with an unroofed coronary sinus, a rare congenital anomaly which could be diagnosed using a combination of modalities including echocardiography, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI.

An 84-year-old woman with hypertension presented to our medical center with dyspnea and lower extremity edema. Electrocardiography demonstrated atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response.

Introduction Atrial arrhythmia is common in patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD). Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the main cause of morbidity in older patients with ASD. An unroofed coronary sinus (CS) is rare (in,1% of all types of ASD) and is often associated with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and other forms of complex congenital heart disease and heterotaxy syndromes. Unroof...

Introduction Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital anomaly that may alter the complex anatomy of the atrioventricular (AV) node. Arrhythmia circuits occurring among these patients may not be located in the usual position, especially those circuits involving the AV node. We report a case of the coexistence of this uncommon coronary sinus (CS) anomaly and the atypical form of atrioventricu...
