Abstract

Successful surgical repair of a 1-year-old girl of complete endocardial cushion defect associated with single atrium, persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, hemiazygos connection and double orifice mitral valve was reported. We repaired the endocardial cushion defect by using an endocardial cushion prosthesis and a new atrial septum was created to allow the left superior vena cava draining into the right atrium. We made no treatment for the accessory mitral valve orifice because of no regurgitation.
