AI Article Synopsis
- Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome with coronary sinus orifice atresia is a rare birth defect affecting heart structure.
- It allows for two pathways for blood to return from the heart: through an unroofed coronary sinus or a persistent left superior caval vein.
- The condition poses risks such as heart failure, paradoxical embolism, and cyanosis due to pressure imbalances in the heart.
Article Abstract
Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome complicated by coronary sinus orifice atresia is a rare congenital anomaly. There are two alternate exits for coronary venous return: unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior caval vein. The coronary venous direction could be bidirectional depending on the pressure balance between the left atrium and the systemic vein. This anomaly has the risk of heart failure, paradoxical embolism, and cyanosis.
