Unroofed Coronary Sinus

AbstractWe report a case of unroofed coronary sinus not associated with the persistent left superior vena cava. Definite diagnosis of the unroofed coronary sinus was obtained by trans-oesophageal echocardiography, which revealed the unroofed portion with left-to-right shunt. Real-time three-dimensional trans-oesophageal echocardiography could show the whole pictures of the defect, which was useful information for surgical repair.

Persistent Left Superior Vena

An 8-year-old male presented with persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, hemizygous continuation, double outlet right ventricle, cor triatriatum, and visceroatrial discordance. After correction of the double outlet right ventricle and cor triatriatum at the age of 5, he developed mild cyanosis due to a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium. At the age of 8, an intraatrial tunnel was successfully constructed with bovine pericardium to reroute the abnormal systemic venous flow.
