ABSTRACT Cor triloculare biventriculare is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which there is complete absence of interatrial septum resulting in three-chambered heart. It can be associated with various other congenital abnormalities like ventricular septal defect, polysplenia, Ellis-van creveld syndrome or persistent left-sided superior vena cava. Here we report a case of antenatal diagnosis common atrium and ventricular septal defect in a fetus of average gestational age of 29 weeks in a primigravida.

Abstract Background Isolated coronary sinus atrial septal defect (CSASD) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly, comprising <1% of atrial septal defects. Elderly patients with this anomaly are even more uncommon and sometimes overlooked. Case summary A 73-year-old man with a history of electrical defibrillation therapy for atrial flutter presented with worsening exertional dyspnoea. Cardiac examination revealed CSASD without persistent left superior vena cava, showing only moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Surgical repair of the defect and regurgitant valve improved symptoms dramatically. Discussion Elderly patients with atrial arrhythmias might show uncommon presentations of congenital heart disease. Cardiologists should pay attention to enlarged right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and, in particular, enlarged coronary sinus. Direct closure with interrupted sutures secured with pledgets is effective in some case of terminal type of CSASD.

Between 1985 and 2002, 60 patients (58% female) with a mean age of 20.3 ± 12.1 years (range, 2–55 years) were treated for anterior mitral leaflet cleft. There was a primum atrial septal defect in 52 patients (87%) and a secundum type in 8 (13%). Concomitant cardiac defects were patent foramen ovale in 6 patients, cleft tricuspid valve in 3, ventricular septal defect in 2, cor triatriatum in 1, and persistent left superior vena cava in 1. Mean grade (1–4) of mitral insufficiency was 2.28 ± 0.74. Atrial septal defects were closed with a pericardial patch in 45 patients, with a prosthetic patch in 11, and primarily in 4. Mitral leaflet clefts were repaired using interrupted sutures. There was no early or late mortality. Two patients (3%) needed a permanent pacemaker. Postoperatively, severe (≥ grade 3) mitral insufficiency developed in 2 patients; valve replacement was performed in one, cleft recurrence and leakage from the patch were treated in the other. Freedom from reoperation was 92.2% ± 5.6% at 15 years. Surgical intervention can be performed for congenital anterior mitral leaflet cleft and interatrial septal defect with good results in both pediatric and adult age groups.

Introduction: Persistent left superior vena cava is a rare anatomic anomaly, found only about 0.3-0.5% of the general population. On top of that, about 12% of patient has associated congenital cardiac anomaly. Typically, this anomaly is found as an incidental finding as patient is generally asymptomatic. However, it is important to recognize such anomaly in order to avoid complication during placement of central venous catheter. Case report: We herein report a case of an incidental finding of persistent left sided superior vena cava (SVC) upon insertion of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Initial difficulty and perplexity during insertion of PICC with the tip of catheter keep pointing towards the left side of the heart leads us to proceed with central venogram that confirmed such anomaly.

AbstractWe introduce a new surgical technique where an extracardiac tunnel is created using pedicled autologous pericardium in an 8-month-old boy who was diagnosed with ventricular septal defect and anomalous connection of the right superior pulmonary vein to the superior vena cava.
