Abstract
- This report presents an experience of difficulties in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after the closure of atrial septal defect. Transesophageal echocardiogram following the first attempt of weaning the CPB revealed the inverted left atrial appendage protruding into the mitral valve. Only after the correction of the inverted left appendage, the CPB weaning was completed without any difficulties.
