Overview

Incidental coronary sinus dilation warrants PLSVC evaluation; leaves open its prevalence and right-heart pressure correlations.

Key Points

  • To explore the relationship between atrial septal defects and coronary sinus enlargement in adults.
  • Detailed case report of a 47-year-old woman with ASD undergoing surgery in March 2025.
  • Follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) conducted post-surgery.
  • A dilated coronary sinus was identified during follow-up TTE.
  • No residual shunt detected adjacent to the ASD patch after surgery.

Cite This Study

Mehrotra et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Atrial septal defect and dilated coronary sinus (n=1). Surgery for secundum atrial septal defect was evaluated. Follow-up transthoracic echocardiography after surgery for a large secundum atrial septal defect in a 47-year-old woman revealed an enlarged coronary sinus alongside an intact ASD patch.
