    Summary

    Intracardiac repair effectively treated unroofed coronary sinus in 24 patients. Surgical techniques varied based on associated cardiac defects, with most patients achieving successful outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare congenital heart anomaly.
    • It can present as an isolated defect or with complex congenital heart disease.
    • Associated anomalies include persistent left superior vena cava and atrial septal defects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the surgical repair of unroofed coronary sinus.
    • To evaluate outcomes in patients with varying presentations of this anomaly.

    Main Methods:

    • Intracardiac repair was performed on 24 patients between 1967 and 1977.
    • Surgical techniques included roofing the coronary sinus and closing atrial septal defects.
    • Repair strategies were adapted based on the presence of left superior vena cava and other cardiac anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • Eight patients had a 'pure' form with absence of the coronary sinus-left atrium partition and persistent left superior vena cava.
    • Four patients had atrioventricular canal defects.
    • Six patients had complex congenital heart disease, with 3 deaths in this subgroup.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracardiac repair is a viable treatment for unroofed coronary sinus.
    • Surgical outcomes depend on the specific anatomy and associated cardiac conditions.
    • Management requires tailored approaches based on individual patient presentation.
