          Abstract

          Iatrogenic diversion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium during surgical closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD) is a very rare complication in the era of cardiopulmonary bypass. The eustachian valve could be mistaken for the margin of the ASD. We report a case with this complication after closure of a sinus venosus ASD of the IVC type.

          Iatrogenic cyanosis and clubbing: 25 years of chronic hypoxia after the repair of an atrial septal defect.

          A case of sinus venosus atrial septal defect repair of the inferior vena caval type with an unintentional diversion of the inferior vena caval blood to the left atrium is reported. Long-standing, anatomical, right-to-left shunting with cyanosis and hypoxia are associated with systemic and cerebrovascular complications. Cardiac risks depend on the presence or absence of pulmonary hypertension, the associated hematological abnormalities and the degree of anatomical, right-to-left shunting. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging clarified the etiology of the unexplained cyanosis and delineated the surgical anatomy.

            Residual right-to-left shunt following repair of atrial septal defect.

            Information about 5 patients with residual right-to-left shunts following repair of an atrial septal defect is presented. In each patient the defect was located low in the atrial septum adjacent to the inferior vena cava. During operation, either the eustachian valve of the inferior vena cava had been mistaken for the lower margin of the defect or the lower portion of the defect was not closed; blood flow was then diverted from the inferior vena cava into the left atrium. To prevent this occurrence, the inferior margin of the atrial septal defect should be closed first.
