Key Points

This research aims to highlight the connection between atrial flutter and congenital anomalies like scimitar vein in adults after ASD repair.
Considered cases of adults with unexplained atrial arrhythmias and right heart dilation.
Utilized multi-modality imaging for early recognition of congenital anomalies.
Identified scimitar vein in adult patients previously repaired for atrial septal defect.
Emphasized the role of early imaging to avoid delayed diagnosis and complications.

Implication

Shows atrial flutter is connected to scimitar vein in adults, highlighting the need for early imaging.

Abstract

Adult patients with unexplained atrial arrhythmias and right heart dilation should prompt consideration of congenital anomalies such as scimitar vein, even decades after atrial septal defect repair. Early recognition using multi‐modality imaging may prevent delayed diagnosis and progressive cardiopulmonary complications.
