Persistent sinus venosus valve mimicking pulmonary stenosis and atrial tumor

Ann Thorac Surg. 2006 Mar;81(3):1123-6. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2005.01.047.

Abstract

A case of giant remnant of the right sinus venosus valve simulating first a pulmonary stenosis and afterward a left atrial tumor is described. We believe that this is the first reported case in which a correct diagnosis was performed before surgery.
