Abstract

ABSTRACT
Foam sclerotherapy (FS) is widely employed for minimally invasive varicose vein treatment. Despite contraindications in symptomatic right-to-left shunt cases like patent foramen ovale, routine pre-procedure transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) screening isn't standard. This article discusses managing chest symptoms during FS in a young woman later diagnosed with an unknown sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV-ASD). FS was administered to a 38-year-old female with symptomatic CEAP-1, who developed chest symptoms. Subsequent diagnosis revealed SV-ASD. Minimally invasive repair followed four weeks later. While FS is generally safe, it poses systemic adverse event risks, emphasizing vigilance in managing SV-ASD patients undergoing FS.

Köpük Skleroterapi ile Ortaya Çıkan Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defekt: Advers Olaylar ve Yönetim Üzerine Bir Vaka Sunumu

Abstract

ÖZET
Köpük skleroterapi (KS), minimal invaziv varis tedavisi için yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Patent foramen ovale gibi semptomatik sağdan sola şant vakalarında kontrendikasyonlara rağmen, işlem öncesi rutin transtorasik ekokardiyogram (TTE) taraması standart değildir. Bu makale, daha sonra bilinmeyen bir sinus venosus atrial septal defekt (SV-ASD) teşhisi konulan genç bir kadında KS sırasında gelişen göğüs semptomlarının yönetimini ele almaktadır. Semptomatik CEAP-1 tanısı olan 38 yaşındaki bir kadına KS uygulanmış ve hastada göğüs semptomları gelişmiştir. Sonrasında yapılan teşhis SV-ASD’yi ortaya koymuştur. Dört hafta sonra minimal invaziv onarım gerçekleştirilmiştir. KS genellikle güvenli olmakla birlikte, sistemik advers olay riskleri taşır, bu da KS uygulanan SV-ASD hastalarının yönetiminde dikkatli olunması gerektiğini vurgular.
