Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Draining Directly Into the Left Atrium With Occluded Coronary Sinus.

Project description:Combined persistent left superior vena cava entering the left atrium with a congenitally atretic coronary sinus is a rare imaging finding. In the absence of a significant right-to-left shunt, it is generally asymptomatic and can be an incidental discovery. Assessing the anatomy of the cardiac vasculature is crucial before transcutaneous cardiac procedures. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium.

Project description:A 40-year-old man was admitted with necrotising fasciitis of the right thigh. Further workup to evaluate for an infectious source revealed an incidental finding of persistent left superior vena cava via transesophageal echocardiography. This finding was confirmed by cardiac MRI. During his hospitalisation, he also developed altered mental status which was found to be secondary to systemic emboli by a head MRI. The primary source of infection was likely his dental abscesses. He underwent intravenous antibiotic therapy for a total of 6 weeks and was then referred to a specialised vascular centre for further management of his congenital anomaly.

Unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior vena cava: A case report.

Project description:The unroofed coronary sinus is a spectrum of cardiac anomalies in which part or all of the common wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium is absent. Most cases are associated with anomalous systemic venous return, such as persistent left superior vena cava.The diagnosis of this lesion is important to the prognosis of the patient, but it is often difficult because of nonspecific clinical features.Here we report a case of a complete unroofed coronary sinus and persistent left superior vena cava discovered during a computed tomographic investigation for pulmonary hypertension.

Left hepatic vein and persistent left superior vena cava drainage into the coronary sinus with subaortic valve stenosis.

Project description:Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and left hepatic vein drainage into the coronary sinus is a very rare combination of thoracic venous anomalies. A literature search revealed only two previously reported cases. PLSVC is associated with congenital heart disease and impulse conduction abnormalities. Subaortic valve stenosis is among these abnormalities. We present an extremely rare case of a 19-year-old woman who presented with PLSVC and left hepatic vein drainage into the coronary sinus associated with subaortic valve stenosis. The vascular anomalies were noted on a computed tomography angiogram of the chest performed for a history of shortness of breath. The patient had been previously diagnosed with and underwent treatment for subaortic valve stenosis at ages 2 and 8. PLSVC increases the incidence of congenital heart disease.

Isolated persistent left-sided superior vena cava, giant coronary sinus, atrial tachycardia and heart failure in a child.

Project description:Persistence of a left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC) with absent right superior vena cava (isolated PLSVC) is a very rare venous malformation and commonly associated with congenital heart disease or alterations of the cardiac situs. We describe an unusual case of a young boy presenting with persistent atrial tachycardia and congestive heart failure. He was detected to have unexplained grossly dilated right atrium, right ventricle with systolic dysfunction and a giant coronary sinus (CS). The dilated CS closely mimicked a pseudo cor-triatriatum on echocardiography. Contrast echocardiography from both arms revealed opacification of the CS before the right atrium. Bilateral upper limb venography confirmed the presence of absent right SVC and isolated persistent left SVC draining into the giant coronary sinus.

Absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava: An incidental finding.

Project description:A patient with Marfan syndrome undergoing Bentall operation was found to have an absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. The dilation of coronary sinus raised the suspicion of persistent left superior vena cava. The diagnosis was confirmed by agitated saline contrast echocardiography and computed tomography of the chest.

Ablation of atrioventricular-nodal-reentrant- tachycardia in a patient with left-sided superior vena cava and dilated coronary sinus.

Project description:Atrioventricular (AV)-nodal-reentrant-tachycardia is a rare association in a patient with persistent left-sided superior vena cava and dilated coronary sinus. There are a few inherent difficulties in ablation in this condition, viz., difficulty in localization of good site for ablation and difficulty in stabilization of the ablation catheter at the designated site, making it difficult to produce transmural lesions and increasing risk of producing AV block. We hereby present a case highlighting the difficulties and possible solutions for them.

Left Main Coronary Artery to Superior Vena Cava Fistula Unmasked by Endarteritis.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulas are rare vascular malformations that can present with a broad range of symptoms. We present a case of a left main coronary artery to superior vena cava fistula that was discovered during a work-up for sepsis. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for successful management of these vascular malformations. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
