Herein, we present a rare case of abnormal connection of
the inferior vena cava to the left atrium with an interatrial
communication associated with severe mitral regurgitation
which altered clinical presentation. Successful correction
was achieved after mitral valve repair and re-routing of the
inferior cava flow to the right atrium.
