Abstract

The patient was a one-year-old boy, who underwent surgery with a diagnosis of atrial septal defect (ASD). During operation, aorto-pulmonary window (A-P window) which had not been detected by the preoperative examinations, was found. Therefore, the A-P window was divided prior to closing ASD. The patient is in good condition six months after the operation. The causes of the inaccurate preoperative diagnosis were discussed.
