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

Abstract: 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 cava (IVC) who underwent TOE before surgical repair. Records of these patients were retrospectively reviewed and comp… Show more

“…Typical SVASD results from a deficiency in the wall that normally separates the right pulmonary veins from the superior vena cava and the right atrium. 2,3 Rarely, there is absence of only the posterior or inferior portions of the atrial septum (or both), and 1 or more of the right pulmonary veins enters the right atrium anterior to the atrial septum; this is called atypical inferior SVASD in the present series of patients because it is not typical SVASD. 5 In 111 patients, the operation was the first attempt at repair.…”

“…1,2 The typical malformation is an interatrial communication caused by a deficiency of the common wall between the superior vena cava (SVC) and the right-sided pulmonary veins. 2,3 SVASD is commonly associated with anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC) of some or all of the pulmonary veins, 3,4 which produces additional left-to-right shunting. The basic principle of repair is redirection of the APVC through the interatrial communication into the left atrium.…”

“…The interatrial communication lies outside the confines of the fossa ovalis, and typically connects the left atrium and superior vena cava (SVC) [35]. Occasionally, the communication is located inferiorly in relation to the inferior vena cava (IVC) orifice [36].…”
