Case 604 Atrioventricular Septal Defect
(Primum Atrial Septal Defect) with Prolonged
Survival (Despite Severe Mitral Regurgitation
and Pulmonary Hypertension) and Associated
Cardiac Calcification (Mitral Anulus,
Coronary Artery and Pulmonary Trunk)

Atrioventricular (AV) septal defect (formerly called AV canal or endocardial cushion
defect or primum atrial septal defect [ASD] with cleft mitral valve) may be either
complete (single AV valve) or partial (2 well formed AV valves). Patients with complete AV septal defect rarely survive for more than a few years without operation.
However, patients with partial AV septal defect often survive for many years, but
not as long as patients with secundum ASD. Prolonged survival with partial AV
septal defect (primum ASD), however, is unusual, particularly in the presence of
severe mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension, but such was the case in
the patient described herein.
S.C., a 59-year- old woman, was found to have a precordial murmur in childhood. Episodic
palpitations began at age 20years and an episode of atrial brillation was documented when
she was 37years old. Although easily fatigued, she performed housework until her early 50s,
when palpitations associated with dyspnea became more frequent and pedal edema developed.
At age 59years, orthopnea and angina pectoris appeared. The blood pressure was 110/70mm
Hg. Aright ventricular lift was palpated, P
was wider than normal and did not vary with respiration. Agrade 3/6 systolic murmur was
present at the apex and it radiated into the left axilla. A grade 2/6 systolic murmur along
the lower left sternal border increased in intensity with inspiration. The electrocardiogram
showed sinus rhythm with prolonged PR interval (0.24 s), right bundle branch block and
left-axis deviation. The Holter monitor tracing showed both supraventricular and ventricular ectopic complexes with episodes of bigeminy and a 4-beat run of ventricular tachycardia. Chest radiography showed cardiomegaly with pulmonary congestion. The ndings on
cardiac catheterization are summarized in Table 1. Left ventriculography demonstrated a
normally contracting left ventricle, a narrowed outow tract with the characteristic “gooseneck” deformity, no ventricular septal defect, severe (grade 3+/4+) mitral regurgitation, and
thickened, deformed, relatively immobile mitral leaets. Calcium was visible in the mitral
anular region. Pulmonary venogram demonstrated an ostium primum ASD. The pulmonary to systemic ow ratio was 1.7 and the net left-to-right shunt was 2.5 liters/min. The
pulmonary resistance was 7 Wood units/m
2
. Coronary arteriography and, later, necropsy demonstrated a 50 to 75% diameter reduc-
m
tion in the midportion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The ostium of the right
coronary artery was located in the left coronary sinus (conrmed at necropsy).

On January26, 1984, the deformed mitral valve was replaced with a 3M Starr-Edwards
prosthesis, the primum ASD was closed with a pericardial patch, a de Vega tricuspid valve
anuloplasty was performed, and a saphenous vein was inserted between the aorta and left
anterior descending coronary artery (done rst). Although atrial brillation developed, the
early postoperative course was uneventful. She went home on February4, 1984. Two days
later she had an acute episode of dyspnea, and she died about 12hours later.
At necropsy, the heart weighed 650g. The defect (4cm in maximal diameter) in the lower
most portion of the atrial septum had been closed securely, 1 of the 4 stents of the prosthesis
in the mitral position contacted the left ventricular wall, and the aortocoronary conduit was
patent (Figures 1 and 2). Heavy calcic deposits were present in the mitral anulus, pulmonary trunk and left anterior descending coronary artery (Figure 3). No clear anatomic cause
of death was discernible at necropsy.
Few reported patients with partial AV septal defect have survived for more than
50years. One man with this defect, conrmed at necropsy, lived 69years.

Case 605 “Massive” Calcification of a Right
Ventricular Outflow Parietal Pericardial
Patch in Tetralogy of Fallot
Elizabeth M. Ross, MD, Charles L. Mclntosh,
MD, PhD and William C. Roberts, MD
A variety of materials have been used for patches to widen obstructed right ventricular (RV) outow tracts in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. These materials
have included Teon®, preclotted Dacron®, parietal pericardium and dura mater.
Autologous parietal pericardium has the advantage of being readily available, and
does not present the problem of suture-line bleeding, which often occurs with the
synthetic patches. Both tissue and synthetic patches utilized in the RV outow tract
may become aneurysmal if the RV peak systolic pressure is not returned to normal
or near normal levels after operation. Although the intimal lining tissue of the synthetic patch may calcify, the synthetic material itself does not. In contrast, autologous patch material may calcify. Such was the case in the patient described here.
D.H. (#11-37-22), a 16-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot, had a Blalock-Taussig anastomosis at age 5years. He had closure of the ventricular septal defect with insertion of a parietal pericardial RV outow widening patch at age 9 after catheterization had shown the peak
systolic pressure gradient between RV body (105/12mm Hg) and pulmonary trunk (16/6mm
Hg) to be 89mm Hg. Another cardiac catheterization was not done until age 16years, when
the peak systolic pressure gradient between RV body (70/2mm Hg) and pulmonary trunk
(15/3mm Hg) was 55mm Hg. Chest radiograph showed a large calcic deposit in the RV outow tract (Figure 1). At reoperation, the RV outow patch was heavily calcied (Figure2). It
was excised and replaced with a larger patch consisting of Teon.
Review of several reports
or a tissue patch into the RV outow tract months to years earlier disclosed no mention of grossly visible calcic deposits of the material of the patch itself. Such heavy
calcic deposits in our patient may have resulted, in part, from the residual RV outow gradient which persisted after operation.

Case 616 Anomalous Origin of the Left Anterior
Descending Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary
Trunk with Origin of the Right and Left
Circumflex Coronary Arteries from the Aorta
William C. Roberts, MD and Max Robinowitz, MD
Origin of both right and left main (LM) coronary arteries from the pulmonary trunk
(PT) rarely allows survival for more than 2 weeks after birth. Origin of the LM from
the PT with origin of the right coronary artery from the aorta allows longer survival,
but usually (80%) for no more than 1year after birth. Origin of the right coronary
artery from the PT and the LM from the aorta, in contrast, allows survival into adulthood and maybe a normal life span. Because the LM is equivalent to 2 major coronary arteries, whenever the LM arises from the PT, whether in association with the
right artery or when isolated, survival is short. However, when 1 major branch of
the LM arises from the PT and both the right and the other major LM branch arises
from the aorta, the survival rate should be similar to that in patients in whom the
right coronary artery arises from the PT and the LM from the aorta. In this report we
describe a man in whom the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) arose
from the PT and the right and left circumex (LC) coronary arteries from the aorta.
T.J., a 32-year-old man, died suddenly soon after jogging on December29, 1981. In
November1979 a continuous murmur ‘‘similar to that of a patent ductus arteriosus” had
been heard during routine physical examination. He was and always had been asymptomatic. The murmur was grade 3/6 in intensity, and loudest in the third left intercostal space.
The systemic blood pressure was 120/50mm Hg. The electrocardiogram was normal. Chest
radiograph showed the cardiac silhouette to be at the upper limits of normal. On the M-mode
echocardiogram, the left ventricular cavity in end-diastole was 65mm and the left atrium
was 40mm. Coronary angiography disclosed the origin of the right artery from the right
sinus and the origin of only the LC from the left sinus of Valsalva. Both the right coronary
artery and LC communicated through collateral vessels with the LAD, which arose from the
PT; it was dilated and tortuous. The ejection fraction on the left ventricular angiogram was
48%. The pulmonary to systemic ow ratio was 1.6:1.
On March9, 1981, thoracotomy was performed for the purpose of ligating the LAD close
to its origin from the PT and insertion of saphenous vein graft from aorta to the more distal
portion of the LAD. At operation, rather than ligating the LAD, the proximal LC was ligated
instead (Figure 1). On the second postoperative day, the continuous precordial murmur was
still audible and repeat angiography disclosed that both the LAD and the graft were widely
patent. Reoperation was performed on March12, 1981, and this time the LAD near the PT
was ligated (Figure 1).
Reevaluation in May1981 disclosed mild exertional dyspnea postoperatively, but never
chest pain. The patient was working full days as a dentist. The blood pressure was 130/85mm
Hg. No precordial murmurs were present. Electrocardiography disclosed Q waves in leads

a heart rate of 175 beats/min, blood pressure 155/75mm Hg, no symptoms and no ischemic electrocardiographic changes. No symptoms occurred thereafter and he began running
2 miles daily and playing tennis. On December29, 1981, he complained of dyspnea shortly
after a run and died.
Necropsy disclosed the heart weight at 450g. The proximal LAD was occluded by a
thrombus and ligature and the graft was patent (Figure 1). Atransmural scar involved the
lateral wall of the left ventricle and ventricular septum at the base and both papillary muscles
were focally scarred (Figure 2).
At least 7 patients (Table 1) have been reported in whom the LAD arose from the
PT and both right and LC arteries arose from the aorta.

1 patient (patient 1, Table 1), a 7-month old girl, had died of an anterior wall acute
myocardial infarct; the other 6 (patients 2 to 7, all women) were aged 18 to 55years
(mean 34). Our patient is the only male thus far described. Of the 6 adults, all were
symptomatic: 5 with angina pectoris, 1 of whom also had an anterior wall acute
myocardial infarct, and 1 with severe fatigue attributed to severe mitral regurgitation from papillary muscle dysfunction. The angina at some time in all 5 patients
was stable, but 3 of the 5 (patients 4, 6 and 7) had unstable angina just before cardiac
operation. The age at onset of symptoms of myocardial ischemia in the 6 adults
ranged from 18 to 37years (mean 27). Precordial murmurs were described in 4 of
5 previously reported adults. (No information was provided in the “addendum
case” of Donaldson et al.
4
): The murmur apparently was present only in systole in 4
patients, and also in diastole in 1. The intensity of the murmurs was mentioned in
2 patients: “soft” in 1 (patient 4) and grade 2/6 in 1 (patient 6). Findings on the electrocardiogram at rest were described in 4 adults: All had poor R-wave progression
in leads V
to V3 and at least 2 (patients 6 and 7) had ST–T-wave changes of ischemia
1
in more than 1 lead. Exercise stress tests in 2 patients (patients 2 and 7) disclosed
ST-segment ischemic changes in each. Chest x-rays in 5 of the 6 adults disclosed normal-sized cardiac silhouettes in 2 and cardiac enlargement in 3: mild in 2 (patients
4 and 6) and severe in 1 (patient 3). Right-sided cardiac catheterization, performed
in at least 5 patients (patients 2 and 4 to 7) disclosed normal pressures in each and
oxygen step-up in the pulmonary trunk in only 1 (patient 6). Coronary angiography
with injection of contrast material in the right coronary artery and LC in all 6 adults
disclosed that each of these 2 arteries in all 6 patients was large, occasionally also
tortuous, and that the LAD was lled with extensive collateral vessels from both
the right coronary artery and LC. Injection of contrast material into the PT did not
cause lling of the LAD; when the LAD, however, was lled by injections into either
the right coronary artery or LC, contrast material did enter the PT through the LAD,
which was lled by collateral vessels.
Of the 6 previously reported adults, operative treatment was carried out in 4,
all of whom preoperatively had angina: In 2 patients (patients 4 and 5) the PT was
opened and the ostium of the LAD was obliterated by sutures, and in 2 (patients 6
and 7) the LAD was ligated just proximal to its entrance into the PT and a reversed
saphenous vein was inserted from the ascending aorta to the LAD. Of the 4 patients
who had operative treatment, angina disappeared in 3 (patients 4 to 6) and persisted in 1 (patient 7). Patients 6 and 7 had repeat coronary and left ventricular
