Özet

Introduction: In this study, we present a case of directing persistent left superior vena cava drainage into the unroofed coronary sinus to the right atrium in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot and coronary sinus orifice atresia without innominate vein. Case report: A 16-month-old boy diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot was admitted. Following intracardiac repair, the left superior vena cava was divided from the left atrial junction, passed through under the ascending aorta and anastomosed to the right superior vena cava. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first patient reported with persistent left superior vena cava, unroofed coronary sinus, coronary sinus orifice atresia, and tetralogy of Fallot. The extracardiac direct anastomosis technique was used successfully to direct persistent left superior vena cava to the right atrium without any post-procedure complications
