  • A persistent left superior vena cava draining into the coronary sinus is the most benign and widely encountered abnormality and can easily be explained embryologically as the persistence of the usual pattern of vnous circulation in the embryo,. However a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium with absent right superior vena cava is an extremely rare anomaly. We report this situation in an infant with tetralogy of Fallot. The most common approach has traditionally been intraatrial baffle repair to create a tunnel to the right atrium or rerouting of the left superior vena cava flow by directly anastomosing the left superior vena cava to the right atrium In the present study the left superior vena cava was transposed to the left pulmonary artery after the correction of tetralogy of Fallot.

  • A patient with benign superior vena cava syndrome caused by the thrombus and fibrotic membrane in superior vena cava is described. Surgical treatment of superior vena cava syndrome remains controversial still. After endvenectomy and thrombectomy of superior vena cava, angioplasty with use of Gore-Tex patch and bypass graft using 10mm diameter Dacron vessel graft from left innominate vein to right atrial appendage were performed. The early postoperative course was uneventful with achievement of good decompression. But 12 months later, the symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome were reoccurred.

  • The unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is a spectrum of cardiac anomalies in which part or all the common wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium is absent. This defect is part of a developmental complex which includes absence of the coronary sinus and termination of a persistent left superior vena cava in the left atrium. Recognition of this complex is important so that interruption or diversion of the left superior vena cava may be done to prevent subsequent central nervous system complications. Surgical correction uses an intraatrial baffle to divert flow from the left superior vena cava to right atrium and to close the atrial septal defect. This report describes a 7 years old female patient in whom the left superior vena cava was identified preoperatively and the complex [unroofed coronary sinus syndrome, common atrium, mitral valve cleft] recognized at the time of operation. Surgical correction, following repair of cleft mitral valve, utilized a Dacron patch baffle to route the left caval blood to the right atrium and included closure of the atrial septal defect

  • A technique applicated for physiologic correction of complex congenital cardiac disease suitable for Fontan procedure in which drainage of left superior vena cava and hepatocardiac vein to left atrium combined is described. We made one systemic venous baffle from left hepatocardiac vein to left superior vena cava and another systemic venous baffle from right inferior vena cava to the right superior vena cava with rigid prosthetic material[0.5mm thickness PTFE patch]. And then we anastomosed directly between the right sided atrial appendage and right pulmonary artery, and left-sided atrial wall beneath the appendage and left pulmonary artery. We believe that this procedure is superior to the method using intraatrial tube graft to divert the left hepatocardiac venous blood to right atrium, and applicable for physiologic correction of any complex congenital cardiac disease suitable for Fontan-type procedure in which anomalies of systemic venous drainage combined.

  • A 56-year-old male presented with severe exertional dyspnea and pitting edema in the lower extremities. The preoperative evaluation demonstrated biventricular dysfunction associated with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and a persistent left superior vena cava. He was registered as a transplantation candidate, and orthotopic heart transplantation was performed using the standard bicaval technique. The left superior vena cava was connected to the right atrial appendage after the construction of a conduit using the recipient's autologous coronary sinus tissue. One-month postoperatively, computed tomography imagery demonstrated a patent conduit between the left superior vena cava and right atrial appendage.

  • We experienced one case of the calcified giant thrombosis in the enlarged right atrium and coronary sinus with markedly dilated persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava in 29year old female patient. We supposed that the dilatation of persistent left superior vena cava was due to poststenotic dilatation secondary to obstruction on orifice of coronary sinus by thrombosis. The giant thrombosis in the right atrium and coronary sinus was successfully resected. She had improvement on preoperative chest discomfort but, the moderate hepatomegaly was developed and then she was discharged with incompletely recovered state due to economical poverty on postoperative 6th weeks. The continuous follow-up and study are indeed necessary for further evaluation of pathology and etiology.

  • Anomalous drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Recently a patient with this venous anomaly was surgically corrected and forms the basis of this report. Patient findings were as follows: The patient has no other symptom but cyanosis which prompted cardiac evaluation Chest PA and electrocariogram were usual. Cross-sectional echocardiogram showed normally connected heart without intracardiac defect, Inferior vena cava drained normally into right atrium and coronary sinus was not dilated. Contrast, given into the right atrium, appeared in the left atrium This rare venous anomaly was confirmed by surgery. Surgical correction consisted of division of superior vena cava above the junction of left atrium and reanastomosis into right atrial appendage. Postoperative digital subtracion angiography confirmed the successful repair. She has doing well for 6months since operation. Systemic venous anomalies without intracardiac defect are very rare. However this anomalies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cyanosis. The successfully corrected case is reported and literature is reviewed.

  • Superior Vena Cava Syndrome: Dacron and Nylon graft between the left innominate vein and the right atrial appendage. Two cases with typical superior vena cave syndrome treated by by-pass graft between the left innominate vein and the right atrial apepndage were presented. One of them was a 58 year old farmer who suffered from marked swelling of the neck and upper half of body, the other was a 50 years old government employee who had acutely progressive symptoms of superior vena cave obstruction. Both of cases revealed that [1] cubitel venous pressure was markedly increased. [2] tumors were noted in the posterior mediastinum by laminography. [3] preoperative cavogram showed the occlusion of superior vena cava and marked collaterals. Dacron and Nylon graft were inserted between the left innominate vein and the right atrial appendage. Postoperatively, the symptoms were relieved markedly, showing edema free face and decreased cubital venous pressure. Postoperative cavogram showed patent graft. Histologically the first case was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and the second as undifferentiated carcinoma, originated probably from bronchus. Total doses of 3150 r X-ray irradiation and 5000 mg of 5-FU were administered in each cases. The first case expired 11 months postoperatively without recurrence of superior vena cave obstruction symptom and the second case is living now without obstruction signs, 4 months after by-pass operation.

  • Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a common venous anomaly of the thorax and usually drains into the right atrium. Less often it drains into the left atrium and has previously been related to ischemic stroke. We report a case of PLSCV that founded during ischemic stroke evaluation in a 77-year-old woman which was detected on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) with saline agitated test and computed tomography.

  • This is a case report of total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with Atrial septal defect, which was corrected surgically by intracardiac procedure under total cardiopulmonary bypass. This 9 years old girl, she complained mild cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, and frequent upper respiratory infection from 3 months age. The chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and a "snow man appearance", she has systolic murmur with splitting of S2. The diagnosis was confirmed with right heart catheterization, the catheter was reached to right pulmonic vein passed through right atrium, right superior vena cava, innominate vein, left superior vena cava, and common venous trunk. On 28th, Dec. 1979, an anastomosis between common pulmonary venous trunk and left atrium, Pericardial patch closure of ASD, and ligation of left superior vena cava were performed with Extra-corporeal circulation. The postoperative course was uneventful and discharged with excellent general condition.Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage with A.S.D. with A.S.D.
