LA8E.2 Sinus venosus defect

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which there is a caval vein (vena cava) and/or pulmonary vein (or veins) that overrides the atrial septum or the septum secundum (superior interatrial fold) producing an interatrial or anomalous veno-atrial communication. Additional information: although the term sinus venosus atrial septal defect is commonly used, the lesion is more properly termed a sinus venosus communication because, while it functions as an interatrial communication, this lesion is not a defect of the atrial septum.
