Multiperforated atrial septal aneurysm and a single coronary artery.
Multiperforated atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) with left-to-right shunt and elevated pulmonary arterial pressure is rare. We present an adult patient with this unusual anomaly combined with a single coronary ostium emerging from the right sinus of Valsalva. The ASA was excised and the defect repaired successfully.
