Evidenced common atrioventricular valve with two orifices and the left superior pulmonary vein draining on the brachiocephalic vein.
This complementary imaging exam was performed to confirm the diagnosis.
The patient presented an association between AVSD and PAPVC, a rare combination. The clinical picture of heart failure was preponderant, characterized by need for diuretics and complementary exams findings, and early surgical treatment was indicated.
