  • Title: Early atrial septal defect surgery due to a bronchogenic cyst causing congestive heart failure by left atrium compression.
    Author: Mosquera VX, Rijlaarsdam M, Filippini L, Hazekamp MG.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2008 May; 7(3):517-8. PubMed ID: 18375450.
    Abstract:
    We report on an uncommon case of a 10-month-old patient who required early surgical closure of an ostium secumdum atrial septal defect due to the concomitant presence of a big subcarinal bronchogenic cyst compressing the left atrium and, therefore, increasing the left-to-right shunt. It led to refractory congestive heart failure symptoms, establishing thereby an earlier indication of surgical treatment.
