Project description:A patient planned to be performed catheter ablation. However, three-dimensional contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed isolated persistent left superior vena cava. We should know such an anatomical abnormality especially when central venous catheter or peripherally inserted central catheter is inserted from right jugular vein or right subclavian vein.
Project description:A patient with Marfan syndrome undergoing Bentall operation was found to have an absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. The dilation of coronary sinus raised the suspicion of persistent left superior vena cava. The diagnosis was confirmed by agitated saline contrast echocardiography and computed tomography of the chest.
Project description:Coronary artery fistulas are rare vascular malformations that can present with a broad range of symptoms. We present a case of a left main coronary artery to superior vena cava fistula that was discovered during a work-up for sepsis. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for successful management of these vascular malformations. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).
