“…The suspicion of PLSVC occurs, in general, at the intraoperative moment, however, its existence can also be suggested through examinations 4 . Thorax radiography shows an abnormal contour of the upper mediastinum to the left, with a prominence below the aortic arch and absence of the rectification line of the right superior vena cava 1,3 (Fig.…”

“…Despite the diagnosis relying on specialized studies, he described a significant finding on the chest radiograph: an anomalous contour in the superior left mediastinum resulting from the enlargement of the aorta's shadow and a paramediastinal prominence below the aortic arch (Bernardes et al, 2016).Emphasizing the importance of conducting multiple studies and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team in this type of developmental anomalies.…”

Right superior vena cava (RSVC) agenesis and persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) are uncommon anomalies arising from faulty embryonic development. This review discusses epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, treatment options, follow-up strategies, and emerging perspectives. RSVC agenesis stems from an underdeveloped right anterior cardinal vein, while PLSVC signifies the persistence of the left counterpart, creating an additional drainage pathway to the right atrium. Their clinical spectrum ranges from asymptomatic discoveries to potential complications like arrhythmias, thrombosis, or catheter-related issues. Diagnosis relies on imaging tools like echocardiography, CT, MRI, or venography. Treatment choices, influenced by individual presentations and complications, include conservative management, anticoagulation, and surgical correction. Long-term followup remains crucial for monitoring potential complications and tailoring management. New vistas on the horizon involve advancements in imaging, genetic studies, and minimally invasive treatments. Case studies like the one presented also contribute valuable insights, expanding our understanding of these rare venous anomalies. In conclusion, RSVC agenesis and PLSVC pose unique diagnostic and management challenges due to their rarity and variable presentations. Continued research and collaboration are essential to reveal their pathophysiology, improve diagnostic accuracy, and optimize treatment outcomes for individuals with these congenital venous anomalies.

The persistence of the left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most frequent thoracic venous malformation, however rare, and with a usually accidental diagnosis. Recurringly, its greatest suspicion is realized in the intraoperative act related to a technical diffi culty in performing the procedure, even by more experienced professionals. Case report: patient is 77 years old, woman, chagasic, submitted a defi nitive pacemaker implant, being the diagnosis of persistence left superior vena cava realized during the surgical procedure. The patient did not present intercurrence during the procedure and developed with substantial clinical improvement after the implantation of the electronic cardiac device, and remaining asymptomatic. A persistência da veia cava superior esquerda (PCVSE) é a malformação venosa torácica mais frequente, porém rara e com diagnóstico habitualmente acidental. Recorrentemente, sua maior suspeita é realizada no ato intraoperatório relacionado a uma difi culdade técnica na realização do procedimento, mesmo por profi ssionais mais experientes. Relato de caso: Paciente de 77 anos, sexo feminino, chagásica, submetida a implante de marcapasso defi nitivo, sendo o diagnóstico de persistência de veia cava superior esquerda realizado durante o procedimento cirúrgico. A paciente não apresentou intercorrência durante o procedimento e evoluiu com melhora clínica substancial após o implante do dispositivo cardíaco eletrônico, mantendo-se assintomática.
