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)
Carole A. Warnes, MB, BS, MRCP, Gerald I. Shugoll, MD, Robert B. Wallace, MD and William C. Roberts, MD
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 20years and an episode of atrial brillation was documented when she was 37years 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 59years, orthopnea and angina pectoris appeared. The blood pressure was 110/70mm Hg. Aright ventricular lift was palpated, P was wider than normal and did not vary with respiration. Agrade 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 outow tract with the characteristic “goose­neck” deformity, no ventricular septal defect, severe (grade 3+/4+) mitral regurgitation, and thickened, deformed, relatively immobile mitral leaets. 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

. 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 (conrmed at necropsy).

On January26, 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 February4, 1984. Two days later she had an acute episode of dyspnea, and she died about 12hours later.
At necropsy, the heart weighed 650g. The defect (4cm 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 calcic 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 50years. One man with this defect, conrmed at necropsy, lived 69years.

In Somerville’s 14 patients, severe mitral regurgitation was present in 2.

Although recognized as frequent in patients with mitral valve prolapse, which in turn is recognized as frequent in older patients with secundum type ASD, mitral anular calcium is infrequent in patients with secundum ASD, survival longer than 65years is relatively uncommon) and it has never been reported in a patient with primum ASD. The occurrence of signicant coronary atherosclero­sis, also present in our patient, has not been described previously in a patient with primum ASD, and obviously, aortocoronary bypass grafting, as performed on our patient, has not been reported previously in such a case.

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) outow tracts in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. These materials have included Teon®, 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 outow 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 5years. He had closure of the ventricular septal defect with insertion of a pari­etal pericardial RV outow widening patch at age 9 after catheterization had shown the peak systolic pressure gradient between RV body (105/12mm Hg) and pulmonary trunk (16/6mm Hg) to be 89mm Hg. Another cardiac catheterization was not done until age 16years, when the peak systolic pressure gradient between RV body (70/2mm Hg) and pulmonary trunk (15/3mm Hg) was 55mm Hg. Chest radiograph showed a large calcic deposit in the RV out­ow tract (Figure 1). At reoperation, the RV outow patch was heavily calcied (Figure2). It was excised and replaced with a larger patch consisting of Teon.
Review of several reports or a tissue patch into the RV outow tract months to years earlier disclosed no men­tion of grossly visible calcic deposits of the material of the patch itself. Such heavy calcic deposits in our patient may have resulted, in part, from the residual RV out­ow 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 1year 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 circumex (LC) coronary arteries from the aorta.
T.J., a 32-year-old man, died suddenly soon after jogging on December29, 1981. In November1979 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 120/50mm 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 65mm and the left atrium was 40mm. 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 March9, 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 March12, 1981, and this time the LAD near the PT was ligated (Figure 1).
Reevaluation in May1981 disclosed mild exertional dyspnea postoperatively, but never chest pain. The patient was working full days as a dentist. The blood pressure was 130/85mm Hg. No precordial murmurs were present. Electrocardiography disclosed Q waves in leads

The Bruce treadmill test to 10 minutes disclosed a heart rate of 175 beats/min, blood pressure 155/75mm Hg, no symptoms and no isch­emic electrocardiographic changes. No symptoms occurred thereafter and he began running 2 miles daily and playing tennis. On December29, 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). Atransmural 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 55years (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 37years (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
