extracardiac rerouting of left Superior Vena Cava to right atrium
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019Co-Authors: Siddartha C Rudrappa, Neeraj Aggarwal, Reena K Joshi, Raja JoshiAbstract:Rerouting of persistent left Superior Vena Cava is necessary in correction of certain congenital cardiac conditions. Techniques previously described involve either an "intracardiac" baffle or an "extracardiac" connection between the left Superior Vena Cava and the right atrium or its appendage or the right Superior Vena Cava. We present a modification of the extracardiac technique, utilizing flaps of right and left atrial appendages in construction of the extra-anatomic tube. Using this technique in 7 patients, we obtained a tension-free, oblique anastomosis with vascular tissue circumferentially and potentially preserving growth.

persistent left Superior Vena Cava with absent right Superior Vena Cava morphological ct features and clinical implications
International Journal of Cardiology, 2007Co-Authors: Tobias Heye, Martina Wengenroth, A Schipp, Thomas J Dengler, Lars Grenacher, G W KauffmannAbstract:Abstract Here we report a rare case of the persisting left Superior Vena Cava with simultaneous absence of the right Superior Vena Cava. This central venous variation has been identified during a routine chest CT scan as follow-up after colonic cancer in an asymptomatic patient with no previous history of heart diseases. Morphological features of this variation are illustrated on axial CT images and 3D image reconstructions. This anomaly occurs in 0.1% of the general population. In presence with the right Superior Vena Cava it is the most common anatomical variation in the central venous system with a reported occurrence of 0.2–8%. Such condition can be associated with additional congenital cardiovascular malformations and heart diseases or rhythm abnormalities. Diagnosis can be difficult and is often achieved incidentally since hemodynamics in these patients can be normal and clinical symptoms are mostly absent. Important clinical implications include difficulties in central venous access or cardiac pacemaker placement as well as management consequences in cardiothoracic surgery. In conclusion clinicians should be aware of this anomaly and their clinical relevance to avoid possible complications.

Orthotopic heart transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy in a patient with persistent left Superior Vena Cava and atresia of the right Superior Vena Cava.
Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 1997Co-Authors: Rubén Argüero, Guillermo Careaga, Castano R, Garrido M, Sanchez OAbstract:To describe the surgical procedure of an orthotopic heart transplantation in a recipient with persistent left Superior Vena Cava and atresia of right Superior Vena Cava. Case report. A 43 year old male with persistent left Superior Vena Cava, atresia of the right Superior Vena Cava and dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthotopic heart transplantation with selective cannulation of the left Superior Vena Cava via recipient coronary sinus for cardiopulmonary bypass. No perioperative complications, satisfactory postoperative course. No rejection episodes at 7 months postoperative with non invasive procedure surveillance. Technique described to preserve left Superior Vena Cava is a useful alternative for this patient with no surgical complications.

Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava with Absent Right Superior Vena Cava and Large Atrial Septal Defect in Visceroatrial Situs solitus
Korean Circulation Journal, 2000Co-Authors: Soon Seong ParkAbstract:Abscence of right Superior Vena Cava (SVC in visceroatrial situs solitus is a rare (0.07% to 0.13% congenital cardiovascular malformation, and little is known about the type and frequency of additional heart defects and arrhythmias. We reviewed previous publications and report the case of 8 month old male infant with absent right Superior Vena Cava and persistent left Superior Vena Cava and large secundum atrial septal defect, mild pulmonary valvular stenosis.

Superior Vena Cava syndrome
The New England Journal of Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Bharat Kumar, Nael Aboul HosnAbstract:A 59-year-old man with hypertension and Crohn's disease that was complicated by fistulas was found unconscious at home. He was intubated and brought to the emergency department. Venography showed occlusion of the Superior Vena Cava.
