Diagnosis
Abnormal left pulmonary venous return to coronary sinus
Recommendation
The patient was referred for cardiac catheterism and then
surgery. Cardiac catheterism confi rmed the diagnosis of an
abnormal connection between the left pulmonary veins and
the coronary sinus.
Lesson
When confronting right atrial and ventricular dilation, in the
absence of an ASD, one possible diagnosis is an abnormal
left pulmonary venous return. An abnormal pulmonary
venous return may be supracardiac, cardiac, or infracardiac.
In the infracardiac return, the pulmonary veins connect to the
inferior vena cava; in the supracardiac return, they connect to
the innominate vein or the SVC; and in the cardiac type, they
connect to the coronary sinus [ 68 – 71 ].

A 17-year-old girl presented with dyspnea on exertion (func-
tional class I) of 1-year duration. She was a known case of
ventricular septal defect (VSD) since childhood. Physical
examination revealed a holosystolic murmur at the apex and
the left sternal border.

Comment
The patient’s Qp/Qs was 1.3, but she was symptomatic.
Consequently, she was subjected to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Diagnosis
The symptomatic patient was diagnosed with a perimembranous VSD. She had a Qp/Qs of 1.3, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure within normal limits, and no rim of the VSD to
the aortic valve.
Comment
Because there was no rim to the aortic valve, the patient was
not a suitable candidate for VSD device closure. Prophylaxis
for infective endocarditis and follow-up were, therefore,
recommended.
Lesson
The VSD device closure is possible in perimembranous and
muscular VSDs, and the rim to the aortic valve should be
>2 mm [ 72 , 73 ].

An 11-year-old boy (41 kg) referred to our clinic because of
a systolic murmur. He had no symptoms. Physical examination showed a harsh systolic murmur at the left sternal border
and apex. Electrocardiography was normal, and chest X-ray
revealed cardiomegaly due to left ventricular enlargement.

Diagnosis
Perimembranous VSD with mild left ventricular dilation and
Qp/Qs = 2 and elevated pulmonary arterial systolic pressure
Comment
The peak gradient across the VSD was about 80 mmHg, but
the pulmonary arterial pressure was 55 mmHg and Qp/Qs
was 2. Moreover, the patient had a mild left ventricular dilation. He was, therefore, subjected to transesophageal echocardiography for the evaluation of the possibility of VSD
device closure.
Lesson
Perimembranous VSDs may be visualized in the parasternal
long-axis or short-axis views or both. Apical fi ve-chamber
view can also visualize this type of VSD. Perimembranous
VSDs are the most common form of VSD and comprising
about 80 % of VSDs.
The spontaneous closure of muscular and perimembra-
nous VSDs occurs by the time the patient has reached
puberty. Closure is more frequent in the muscular type. The
criteria for intervention in VSDs include:
1. Left ventricular and atrial dilation or left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
2. Qp/Qs greater than 1.5/1.
3. Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 50 mmHg
in the absence of pulmonary arterial hypertension. If there
is pulmonary arterial hypertension, the pulmonary vascular
resistance should be measured. In the presence of a pulmonary vascular resistance greater than 7 units, if the Qp/Qs is
greater than 1.5 and there is pulmonary reactivity by nitric
oxide or oxygen, the VSD can be closed [ 2 ].
More than mild aortic regurgitation is a relative indication
for intervention in perimembranous and double outlet VSDs
[ 2 ], although some authors have suggested progressive aortic
regurgitation as an indication for intervention [ 7 ].
Different types of left-to-right shunts have various effects
on the ventricular chambers. The atrial septal defect (ASD)
produces right atrial and ventricular dilation, while the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and the patent ductus arteriosus
(PDA) cause left atrial and ventricular dilation.
It is because for the VSD, blood enters from the left ven-
tricle into the right ventricle. However, because the passage
of the fl ow through the VSD is a systolic phenomenon, blood
enters the pulmonary artery immediately, followed by the
pulmonary veins, left atrium, and left ventricle. Consequently,
there is a volume overload on the left atrium and ventricle.
For the PDA, blood passes from the descending aorta
toward the pulmonary artery through the ductus arteriosus
and then enters the pulmonary veins, left atrium, and left
ventricle. Consequently, the left atrium and ventricle become
dilated [ 2 ].
In the ASD, the two atria are fi lled with the same pres-
sure. (In the normal heart, the left atrial pressure is 5 mmHg
more than the right atrial pressure.) The right atrium and
ventricle, which have more compliance for volume, accept
more fl ow and become dilated [ 74 ].

A 40-year-old woman was referred to our echocardiography
laboratory for decision-making about a ventricular septal
defect (VSD) and rule out of Gerbode defect (VSD between
the left ventricle and right atrium). She was asymptomatic
and had a holosystolic murmur (grade II/VI) at the lower left
sternal border.
