Abstract

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (URCS) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Recently, cardiac surgery using a minimally invasive approach has become the preferred treatment, affording better cosmetic results and a more rapid post-operative recovery than the traditional method. We report the case of a 54-year-old male in whom partial URCS was treated via a totally endoscopic repair technique featuring right mini-thoracotomy.
