Abstract
We report on a case of coronary sinus rupture that happened during pla cement of a cardioplegia balloon catheter and its subsequent repair. F irst, the defect was oversewn, however, not successfully. Under cardio pulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest, a pericardial patch was used to reconstruct the coronary sinus. Six months after the operation, bl ood drained during diastole into the right atrium but the flow was par tially reversed during systole.
