Summary
This study details a rare atrial septal defect causing double-outlet right atrium, elevated left atrial pressure, and pulmonary hypertension. Surgical repair involved septum resection, patch construction, and valve repair, successfully treating the condition.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- A rare primum atrial septal defect (ASD) variant is presented.
- This defect involves leftward deviation of the atrial septum, creating a double-outlet right atrium.
- Associated findings include obstruction at the ASD, elevated left atrial pressure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and systemic arterial desaturation.
