ABSTRACT
We have experienced surgical correction of incomplete ECD in a 66-year-old female patient. This is the oldest case in Japanese literatures. Preoperative examination showed mild mitral regurgitation, interatrial shunt (L-R 52%) and moderate pulmonary hypertension (Pp/Ps 0.48). The correction consisted of valvuloplasty of mitral valve and patch closure of ostium primum. The postoperative course was uneventful. The postoperative catheterization showed improved cardiac function.
