A Surgical Case of Partially Unroofed Coronary Sinus Atrial Septal Defect in an Elderly Patient Diagnosed by Preoperative Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography
Int Heart J. 2024;65(1):155-158. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-401.ABSTRACTUnroofed coronary sinus syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, involving some anatomical variations. Approximately 60% of patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome have a concomitant atrial septal defect, which is termed unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect (CSASD). The precise detection of these abnormalities has been usually difficult with conventional echocardiography, mostly due to its small and complex structures. Herein, we report a case with unroofed coronary sinus atrial septal defect, in which preoperative contrast-enhanced compu...
