Abstract
|
|
|
Failure in regression of fetal left common cardinal vein. Commonly referred to as persistent left superior vena cava. Is one of the most frequently encountered anomalies of the systemic venous return. We experienced a case of persistent left
superior
vena cava in a 60-year-old male who presented with exertional dyspnea and intermittent cough for 1 year. We found that the persistent left superior vena cava drained into right atrium via markedly dilated coronary sinus in transthoracic and
contrast
transesophageal echocardiography. The patient had also interruption of inferior vena cava. Confirmed by venogram during right heart catheterization. So that the blood of inferior vena cava drained into left superior vena cava via hemiazygos vein.
The
patient improved with medical treatment and was discharged.
