“…When an anas tomotic vein of considerable size is present, there will be only a small right-to-left shunt, since a part of the left venous return will drain into the right superior vena cava and the right atrium via the connecting vein. If atrial septal defect with left-to-right shunt is also present, the persistent left superior vena cava and the hepatic vein predominantly drain through the defect to the right atrium, accounting for minimal arterial desaturation [11,13,17] as seen here.…”

“…Castellanos first demonstrated the left superior vena cava (LSVC) by angiocardiography. [ 8 ] The incidence of LSVC varied from 0.3% in healthy individuals to 4.3% in patients with congenital heart disease. Hairston stated that the PLSVC is the most common variant of abnormal systemic venous entry into the heart.…”

Awareness of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), a rare congenital variant is helpful to a clinician to avoid the unnecessary complications. We report a case of PLSVC in a patient with chronic kidney disease which was identified following a difficult catheterization into the right internal jugular vein (IJV). The catheterization was attempted through the left IJV and the position of which could not be confirmed with check radiograph and two-dimensional echo. PLSVC was suspected in the computed tomography angiography and was confirmed following digital subtraction angiography.

Classification of triatrial hearts

The triatrial heart (cor triatriatum) is one of the most fascinating of the cardiac anomalies. For over a century anatomists have debated the nature of the embryological defect. At present most descriptions refer to one type of anomaly, the so-called "stenosis of the common pulmonary vein." The very persistence of disagreement on the pathogenesis of the triatrial heart would lead one to believe there are several anomalies involved.In addition to stenosis of the common pulmonary vein several other types of triatrial hearts have been described, often only as anatomic curiosities. In order to clarify our concepts of hearts with three supraventricular chambers, it is considered worthwhile to review the reported anomalies and attempt a logical classification.To understand the pathologic development of triatrial hearts it is essential to become familiar with the embryology of the pulmonary veins, the left superior vena cava and the interatrial septum. It is not the purpose of this report to review this information which is available elsewhere. Particularly useful are the studies of Patten ('31, '38, '53), the classic monograph of Marshall (1850), and selected discussions of normal and anomalous pulmonary veins (Benda, '24; Grantigan, '47;
