Wide unroofed coronary sinus and cryptogenic stroke: a case report

Unroofed Coronary Sinus as Potential Cause of Ischemic Stroke Following Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Unroofed coronary sinus is a rare type of atrial septal defect with a strong association with persistent left superior vena cava. We describe a case with unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior vena cava as a cause of recurrent embolic strokes following left atrial appendage closure for atrial fibrillation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

A Rare Congenital Cardiac Defect: Isolated Coronary Sinus Septal Defect and the Challenges of Diagnosis in a Child

• Isolated coronary sinus defect without persistent left superior vena cava is a rare cardiac defect. • Diagnosis can be difficult in the absence of other defects in an asymptomatic child. • Missed or difficult cases to diagnose may be found incidentally in adulthood. • Surgical outcome in the absence of any other defects can be very good.
