Abstract:
A 19-year-old woman presented clinically with a left to right pretricuspid shunt. Echocardiography revealed a large ostium primum defect and a double-orifice mitral valve. Operative findings revealed additionally a double-orifice tricuspid valve and a left superior vena cava draining to the roof of the left atrium. The atrioventricular valves were competent. The primum defect was patched and the left superior vena cava was rerouted.
