Abstract
- Case Report<br />There is no consensus regarding the ideal surgical procedure for treatment of combined atrial septal defect without an inferior septal rim and partial anomalous right lower pulmonary venous connection. A 41 year-old woman had previously undergone ineffective surgical closure of an ostium secundum-type atrial septal defect. Intraoperatively, we ascertained the correct diagnosis of partial anomalous right lower pulmonary venous connection combined with a residual defect. Incision of the atrial septal wall up to the superior margin along the previous suture line yielded a flap adequate for the atrial septal wall, and this flap was slid again into the entire opening. The spatially complex intracardiac lesion was repaired by using only autologous tissue.
