Abstract A foetal echocardiogram, in a 27-week foetus referred for cardiomegaly, demonstrated dextrocardia, absence of the ductus venosus, and an unrestricted unusual umbilical venous drainage to a left posterior intercostal vein, which continued to left hemiazygos vein and drained into the coronary sinus. Progressive cardiomegaly led to early delivery. To the best of our knowledge, no case with similar umbilical venous drainage has been previously reported.

Long Term Result

Abstract Direct hepatic veins-to-hemiazygos connection offers the balanced distribution of hepatic venous blood to both lungs, not requiring anticoagulation. We report a 13-year follow-up after this type of off-pump Fontan completion. Patient’s hepatic veins-to-hemiazygos confluence increased with growth to allow for unobstructed flow. This unique technique can be recommended in heterotaxy patients, if atrial hepatic venous drainage and hemiazygos vein are in close proximity.

The fractions of left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (LC) inflow drainage into the canine great cardiac vein (GCV) and coronary sinus (CS) have been quantitated by use of a right heart bypass preparation in which GCV outflow was isolated from the remainder of CS outflow. Following direct LAD injection of indocyanine green dye (ICG), 63 +/- 8% (SD) of the total amount of dye recovered appeared in GCV outflow and the remainder in CS outflow. CS recovery of ICG was decreased appreciably by ligation of epicardial venous connections between the LAD and LC beds, but was not affected by selective reductions of LAD or LC inflow. Only 3 +/- 3% of ICG injected into the LC was recovered in GVC outflow under basal conditions, and these low values were not affected measurably by selective reductions of LAD or LC inflow. CS drainage of LAD inflow could be augmented by selective increments of GCV pressure exceeding 7-10 mmHg. Increments of LC drainage in GCV outflow required CS pressures that exceeded GCV pressures by greater than 10 mmHg.

Absent Ductus Venosus

The ductus venosus serves as an important vascular pathway for intrauterine circulation. This case presents a description of an absent ductus venosus in a female patient with Noonan syndrome, including both prenatal and postnatal imaging of the anomaly. In the setting of the anomalous vascular connection, the umbilical vein courses inferiorly to the iliac vein in parallel configuration with the umbilical artery. This finding was suspected based on prenatal imaging and the case was brought to attention when placement of an umbilical catheter was thought to be malpositioned given its appearance on radiography. Ultrasound imaging confirmed the anomalous course. This is in keeping with prior descriptions in the literature of an association between Noonan syndrome and aberrant umbilical venous drainage. This case illustrates the need for awareness of this condition by the radiologist, allowing for identification on radiographs and the recommendation for further confirmatory imaging. Further, the case illustrates the value of paying particular attention to the fetal course of the umbilical vessels in patients with suspected Noonan syndrome, as this population is particularly at risk for anomalous vasculature.

Subcostal real-time three-dimensional echocardiography of interatrial communications: reconstruction of an oval fossa defect, a superior sinus venosus defect with partially anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, an infero-posterior oval fossa defect, and a coronary sinus defect

AbstractReal-time three-dimensional echocardiography can surpass simple cross-sectional echocardiography in providing precise details of cardiac lesions. For the purpose of optimising treatment, we describe our findings with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography when interrogating different types of communications permitting interatrial shunting. A three-dimensional reconstruction of defects within the oval fossa enabled reliable identification of location, size, and integrity of surrounding rims. In the superior sinus venosus defect associated with partially anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, three-dimensional reconstruction helped to provide a better understanding of the relationship between the interatrial communication, the orifice of the superior caval vein, and the connections of the right upper pulmonary vein. In the defect opening infero-posteriorly within the oval fossa, three-dimensional reconstruction helped to avoid the risk of potentially inappropriate closure of the defect by suturing the hyperplastic Eustachian valve to the atrial wall, which could have diverted the inferior caval venous return into the left atrium, or obstructed the caval venous orifice. In the coronary sinus defect, three-dimensional echocardiography provided a ‘face to face’ view of the entire coronary sinus roof, showing a circular defect communicating with the cavity of the left atrium. Acquisition of the full-volume data sets took less than 2 minutes for the patients having defects within the oval fossa, and no more than 3 minutes for the patients with the sinus venosus and coronary sinus defects. Post-processing for the defects in the oval fossa took from 5 to 8 minutes, and from 12 to 16 minutes for the more complicated defects.ConclusionCross-sectional two-dimensional echocardiography can establish correct diagnosis in all types of atrial communications; however, real-time three-dimensional reconstruction provides additional value to the surgeon and interventionist for better understanding of spatial intracardiac morphology.

AbstractWe describe the case of a 9-year-old girl demonstrating isolated absence of the coronary sinus with abnormal coronary venous drainage into the main pulmonary artery. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arterial trees and contrast medium from both coronary arteries drained into the main pulmonary artery via an abnormal cardiac vein on the anterior wall of the right ventricle.
