This study presents a successful minimally invasive repair of a rare sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV-ASD) with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) in an adult. This approach offers a less invasive option for complex congenital heart conditions.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are common congenital heart diseases in adults.
- Sinus venosus atrial septal defects (SV-ASDs) are uncommon, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD).
- Traditional treatment for SV-ASD with PAPVD involves median sternotomy.
