Abstract

An iatrogenic systemic venous return abnormality was found in a female patient who had previously undergone surgery to correct a superiorly located atrial septal defect and then had increasing complaints. Here we consider the importance of contrast  echocardiography in the diagnosis and discuss the patient’s second operation as well as the possible mistakes in the first operation.
