Coronary sinus-left atrial window

Radiology. 1980 May;135(2):319-22. doi: 10.1148/radiology.135.2.7367620.

Abstract

Left atrial-coronary sinus fenestration is a rare cause of a left-to-right or right-to-left shunt which occurs most commonly with a persistent left superior vena cava. These fenestrations may represent the only pathway for an obligatory right-to-left or left-to-right shunt in atrioventricular valve atresia. Four cases are presented.
