[Unroofed Coronary Sinus in an Adult; Report of a Case].
Kyobu Geka. the Japanese Journal of Thoracic Surgery 2015 November
Unroofed coronary sinus( UCS) is a rare cardiac anomaly and the most uncommon type of atrial septal defect. It is rarely diagnosed by only echocardiography prior to surgery. We herein report a case of UCS (partially unroofed terminal portion) without persistent left superior vena cava that was precisely diagnosed by cardiac multi-detector low computed tomography (MDCT). A 50-year-old asymptomatic man was admitted for cardiac evaluation. A transesophageal echocardiography showed a left to right shunt at the atrial level. MDCT clearly showed a defect in the coronary sinus and lower part of the interatrial septum. At the time of surgery, the defect was closed using a Gore-Tex patch, such that the coronary sinus drained entirely into the left atrium. The postoperative course was uneventful. Cardiac MDCT provides accurate anatomic details about defects as well as the associated anomalies of the heart and pulmonary vasculature.
