Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review our experience with cardiac surgery due to remnants of the sinus venosus valve.
DESIGN: We performed a retrospective evaluation of patients records during the period from 1980 to 2007.
RESULTS: Three patients underwent surgical removal of the redundancy of the right sinus venosus valve.
CONCLUSION: Remnants of the embryologic sinus venosus valve may present by various entities. Cardiac surgery should be performed only in patients with continuing symptoms attributed to a persistent sinus venosus valve.
