Abstract
We report the case of a 20-year-old woman who received corrective surgery for a secundum atrial septal defect, during which right atrial inflow obstruction developed because of inadvertent suturing of the eustachian valve to the interatrial septum. Although reliable cardiac surgical techniques are available, this rather rare complication may have deleterious results for patients. If a previously absent murmur is detected in the lower left parasternal border after atrial septal defect surgery, right atrial inflow obstruction caused by the eustachian valve should be kept in mind and further careful examination undertaken.
