Overview
- In this type of atrial septal defect the common wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium is not developed.
- Some patients with coronary sinus atrial septal defects may also have a persistent left superior vena cava.
- A sinus venosus ASD is a type of atrial septum defect in which the defect in the septum involves the venous inflow of either the superior vena cava or the inferior vena cava.
- It involves the superior portion of septum
- Sinus venousus ASD is posterior to the fossa ovalis
- A sinus venosus ASD that involves the superior vena cava makes up 2 to 3% of all interatrial communication. It is located at the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. It is frequently associated with anomalous drainage of the right-sided pulmonary veins into the right atrium (instead of the normal drainage of the pulmonary veins into the left atrium).[1]
