    Abstract:
    We have recently performed a successful repair of a total right anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary sinus associated with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. A 54-year-old female was inaccurately diagnosed as atrial septal defect associated with mitral and tricuspid regurgitation preoperatively. Operation revealed that all the right pulmonary veins connected to the coronary sinus. Mitral regurgitation which might be caused by distortion of the anterior leaflet was repaired by McGoon's technique. A Carpentire-Edwards ring was employed for the tricuspid annuloplasty. Repair of the atrial septal defect was undertaken with a pericardial septation patch which was sutured in place. The roof of the coronary sinus was widened by cutback, so that blood from the pulmonary veins could drain into the left atrium. The postoperative course was uneventful, except for a supraventricular arrhythmia.
