Orthotopic heart transplantation with preoperative unsuspected left superior Vena cava and absence of right superior Vena cava.
Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 1992Co-Authors: Reed D. Quinn, Barry S. Clemson, John L. Myers, Dwight DavisAbstract:We report the case history of a 47-year-old man who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation for ischemic cardiomyopathy. At the time of cardiectomy, the patient was found to have a persistent left superior Vena cava draining into the coronary sinus and complete absence of his right superior Vena cava. The donor heart had been removed without knowledge of this venous anomaly; consequently, the donor's superior Vena cava and innominate vein were not harvested. The persistent left superior Vena cava was cannulated for cardiopulmonary bypass. The recipient's heart was excised along the atrial ventricular groove, preserving the persistent left superior Vena cava and coronary sinus. The atrial cuffs of the recipient and donor were fashioned for atrial-to-atrial anastomoses. Successful endomyocardial biopsies have been performed through the femoral veins after transplantation.

Inferior Vena cava filter from left-sided superior Vena cava.
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007Co-Authors: Sujit Nair, Duncan F. Ettles, Graham J. Robinson, Paul ScottAbstract:We describe the unusual case of a 71-year-old male with a history of deep vein thrombosis and recurrent multiple pulmonary embolism (PE) despite adequate anticoagulation. Computed tomography (CT) and brachiocephalic venography revealed a left-sided superior Vena cava. We describe successful placement of an inferior Vena cava filter via a left-sided superior Vena cava.

Vena cava filter devices.
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1995Co-Authors: Kenneth A. Ballew, John T. Philbrick, Daniel M. BeckerAbstract:: Vena cava filters are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with deep vein thrombosis or PE who either have contraindications to anticoagulation or have sustained a PE despite adequate anticoagulation. Although Vena cava filters are not without complications, clinically significant morbidity and mortality are low. The use of Vena cava filters as primary prophylaxis or therapy for deep vein thrombosis and PE should await the results of controlled trials.
