The Case of Surgically-Corrected Single Atrium with Interrupted Vena Cava Inferior

An asymptomatic 8-year-old girl with measles was referred to the pediatric cardiology department with the suspicion of congenital heart disease. Doppler echocardiography revealed single atrium, mitral cleft and interrupted vena cava inferior. These were confirmed by cardiac catheterization. The cleft in the anterior mitral leaflet was repaired and an atrial septum was constructed with synthetic graft (PTFE). The case is reported because of the concomitant interrupted vena cava inferior and its relevance during operation.
