Minimally invasive periareolar approach to repair sinus venosus atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Atrial septal defects with anomalous venous connections are commonly repaired via sternotomy, requiring careful baffle reconstruction to redirect pulmonary venous return and ensure a durable result. The cosmetically appealing periareolar incision may provide an esthetically superior alternative to the anterolateral minithoracotomy incision used in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. METHODS: We describe a patient with a sinus venosus atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection who underwent successful minimally invasive, endoscopic repair with apical vein translocation and autologous pericardial baffle reconstruction through a periareolar approach. RESULTS: Post-operative echocardiography demonstrated excellent results with no residual shunt and a widely patent baffle and preserved biventricular function. At 1-year post-op, our patient has had a greatly improved quality of life and an excellent cosmetic result with normal nipple-areolar sensation. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that periareolar approaches should be considered for all adult patients with simple and complex atrial septal defects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
