| Abstract: | Atrial septal dissection is a rare entity usually seen after surgical mitral valve repair, myocardial infarction, or endocarditis. This is a report of an atrial dissection in a young girl found on routine follow-up echocardiography after repair of atrial and ventricular septal defects. No identifiable predisposing risk was found prior to or at the time of surgical repair. Considerable risk of significant morbidity and even mortality attends atrial dissection due to the risk of rupture. |
