Persistent left superior vena cava
Clinical Anatomy, 2006Congenital venous anomalies are relatively common and some have clinical implications. An example of persistent left superior vena cava was found during a routine dissection. This vein was carefully dissected and followed to its termination in the right atrium. The same cadaver also presented four branches from the arch of the aorta.

Persistent left superior vena cava∗
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1959Abstract On the basis of our cases as well as the data in the literature we can conclude that discovery of a left superior vena cava during cardiac catheterization or angiocardiography is of great importance both from the clinical and surgical standpoint.

Persistent left superior vena cava
Journal of Cardiothoracic Anesthesia, 1989A PERSISTENT LEFT superior vena cava draining into the coronary sinus is usually of little hemodynamic consequence, but it may become significant during cardiac catheterization, transvenous pacemaker insertion, cardiac surgery, surgery of the left mediastinum, or when it is used as a route for pulmonary artery (PA) flow-directed catheter placement.1-3 ...

Catheterization of a Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
The Journal of Vascular Access, 2009Patency of the left superior vena cava, although uncommon, is the most frequent anomaly of the thoracic vessels. It has been diagnosed in 0.3–0.5% of the general population. A persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) results from the abnormal persistence of an embryological vessel that normally involutes into the coronary sinus during fetal life ...

2015A young woman with a history of palpitation was referred to our echocardiography laboratory. Physical examination was normal, and echocardiography revealed normal left and right ventricular sizes and functions as well as a dilated coronary sinus.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971
Abstract A 5½-year-old boy with a persistent left superior vena cava entering the left atrium first presented with a cerebral abscess. The right superior vena cava was absent, and no other intracardiac anomalies were present. One year after drainage of the abscess, the cardiovascular anomaly was Corrected by placement of a Dacron baffle within the ...

Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
2018Persistent left superior vena cava is the most common congenital thoracic venous anomaly with a prevalence of ~0.5% in the population and up to 10% of those with established congenital heart disease. Generally a benign anomaly that is identified incidentally on imaging or during attempts at left-sided venous access, it may be associated with clinical ...

Persistent left superior vena cava demonstrated by angiocardiography
American Heart Journal, 1958Abstract A persistent left superior vena cava was demonstrated by angiocardiography during the preoperative evaluation of a patient with aortic stenosis for valvular surgery. This rare anomaly produces no physiologic disturbance unless there are associated malformations, or unless the anomalous vein enters the left atrium. It may, however, interfere

VDD Pacing in Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1998Although persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common major venous anomaly of the heart, associated absence of the right superior vena cava with normal visceral situs is exceedingly rare. Such a patient presented with complete heart block requiring permanent pacing.

Isolated Left Persistent Superior Vena Cava
2015A 17-year-old boy was referred to our echocardiography laboratory with a diagnosis of an unroofed coronary sinus. He had dyspnea on exertion (functional class I) since childhood.
