Misdiagnosis of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome as an ostium primum atrial septal defect by echocardiography: A case report

Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiography before surgery. A: Significant enlargement of the right ventricle (anterior-posterior diameter = 43 mm); B: Location of the defect was near the endocardial cushions on apical four-chamber view, which was mistaken for a defect of the ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) (arrow); C: When detected on apical four-chamber view by scanning backward, a defect of the coronary sinus (CS) in the terminal portion and normal endocardial cushions were seen (arrow); D: A shunt through the defect of the CS in the terminal portion on apical four-chamber view (arrow); E: Pulse-wave Doppler spectrum showed a shunt during diastole through the defect of the CS in the terminal portion [Vmax = 100 cm/s, pressure gradient (PG) = 4 mmHg]; F: Moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation (Vmax = 337cm/s, PG = 45 mmHg, pulmonary artery systolic pressure = 50 mmHg); G: The defect of the CS in the terminal portion and secundum ASD on subxiphorid biatrial view (arrow, 3.3 cm × 2.0 cm and 1.1 cm); H: Two shunts through the defect of the CS and secundum ASD on subxiphorid biatrial view (arrow); I: Negative filling was observed at the right atrium orifice of the CS and right atrium side of the secundum atrial septal by right-heart contrast echocardiography (arrow). RA: Right atrium; RV: Right ventricle; LA: Left atrium; LV: Left ventricle.
