Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac catheterization were useful in evaluating the anatomic and functional characteristics of inferior-type SVASD and distinguishing it from unroofed coronary sinus.

Cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac catheterization are useful modalities for evaluating the anatomic and functional characteristics of inferior-type sinus venosus atrial septal defects.
Hypothesis-generating for CMR and catheterization in inferior SVASD; larger studies needed before broader adoption.
Atrial septal defects can occur at various levels of the interatrial septum. Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) results from abnormal resorption of the embryologic sinus venosus, and may be of the superior or inferior type. In this paper, we describe a 46-year-old man with inferior-type SVASD who presented with arrhythmias and dyspnea. Cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac catheterization were useful in evaluating the anatomic/functional characteristics of inferior-type SVASD and distinguishing it from unroofed coronary sinus.

Hidalgo et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Inferior-type sinus venosus atrial septal defect (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac catheterization was evaluated on Evaluation of anatomic/functional characteristics and distinction from unroofed coronary sinus. Cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac catheterization were useful in evaluating the anatomic and functional characteristics of inferior-type SVASD and distinguishing it from unroofed coronary sinus.
