[A case of incomplete endocardial cushion defect with mirror-image dextrocardia, IVC defect and azygos connection].
A case of incomplete endocardial cushion defect associated with mirror-image dextrocardia, IVC defect and azygos connection is reported. Intracardiac defect was corrected under moderate hypothermia with cardiopulmonary bypass. Three venous drainage cannulas were necessary to be indwelled into SVC, hepatic vein and right common iliac vein to maintain adequate venous drainage for extra-corporeal circulation. Thus, anomaly of venous system, which is commonly associated with mirror-image dextrocardia, must be recognized correctly and prepared before intracardiac correction.
