“…Identification of the PLSVC can be performed by injecting agitated saline through the left antecubital vein, which reaches the coronary sinus via PLSVC and subsequently drains into the RA. In the presence of a well formed persistent LSVC, the cardiac end of RSVC may be small in size, [4,12] which has a surgical implication as in our case. Preoperative TEE examination of the cardiac end of RSVC may help predicting the necessity for the Warden repair.…”

Role of intraoperative echocardiography in surgical correction of the superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect

Superior type of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is invariably associated with the unroofing of right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV). Warden procedure and pericardial patch repair with rerouting of the RUPV are commonly performed operations for the superior SVASD. Both operations involve the risk of obstruction to the flow of superior vena cava or rerouted pulmonary vein in the postoperative period. The sinus venosus defects are well visualized on the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) because of the proximity of the TEE probe to these structures. We are reporting two cases operated for the superior SVASD with unroofed RUPV, highlighting the intraoperative echocardiographic features before and after the surgery.

“…Therefore, authors generally recommend the Warden procedure to avoid sinus node dysfunction. 7,8) However in recent series transient sinus node dysfunction 9,10,11) and SVC stenosis 11,12) have been reported after Warden procedure. Park, et al have informed that deep stitches to the sinus node and its artery while reconstructing the pulmonary-venous pathway is the possible mechanism for transient sinus node dysfunction after Warden procedure.…”

“…Even with this [6] technique and its modification by enlarging the region, the authors describe cases of stenosis or occlusion of superior vena cava especially when the left superior vena cava was persistent [5]. A possible cause of stenosis of the superior vena cava is the need to bring the cephalic stump of superior vena cava up to the right atrial appendage.…”

“…This occurrence is more frequent when the left superior vena cava is persistent, because it occurs a diversion of blood from the right superior vena cava, which then shows smaller caliber and presents higher tendency to stenosis or occlusion to be split longitudinally during surgery. The use of foreign material enlarging the region in order to alleviate the problem does not seem to be solved it completely [6,7].…”

Tratamento cirúrgico da conexão anômala parcial das veias pulmonares em veia cava superiorSurgical treatment of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior vena cava Abstract Objectives: Surgical treatment of anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the superior vena cava, associated with sinus venous atrial septal defect, is well established and presents with low morbidity and mortality. In order to reduce the incidence of stenosis or occlusion of the right superior vena cava, especially when associated with the presence of left superior vena cava, the right atrial appendage was used to enlarge the right superior vena cava, after the diversion of the anomalous pulmonary veins to the left atrium. Conclusion: This study shows the applicability of the technique described with favorable results on mortality, rhythm disturbances and complications in the right superior vena cava.
