Abstract

A 12-year-old girl complained of tachycardia and dyspnea after exertion but without cyanosis. Her echocardiogram showed an ASD and a widened inferior vena cava. A difference in PO2 between inferior and superior vena cava was evident. An anastomosis between left atrium and pulmonary vein, and a long oval pericardium to cover the opening of the descending vein and ASD into left atrium were performed during cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient recovered without complications.
