We report a case of unroofed coronary sinus syndrome repaired via a minimally invasive approach, under the excellent command of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. Case presentation A 77-year-old woman with hypertension was admitted for aggravation of bilateral leg edema and diagnosed with...

After weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass, a new shunt into the left atrium was noted that had not been apparent on multiple previous echocardiographs. Using an agitated saline test, we confirmed a shunt between the coronary sinus and left atrium. The assumption was made that there had been an...
