“…The technique is simple, reproducible, and does not have potential for significant late complications. 12,15 In addition to throwing light on a rare and interesting embryology, the present case underscores the importance of looking for and identifying left-sided anomalous pulmonary venous connections to LSVC whenever an LSVC is present both before and during the surgery.…”

A four-year-old girl presented with superior vena cava (SVC) type of sinus venosus defect, right upper pulmonary vein draining into right SVC-right atrium junction, left upper lobe pulmonary veins draining into the lower part of persistent left SVC (LSVC), and a patent ductus arteriosus. The anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to LSVC was overlooked in the preoperative evaluation and was found intraoperatively. Warden procedure was performed for right-sided veins. Lower LSVC draining the anomalous pulmonary veins was anastomosed to the left atrial appendage. The short stump of LSVC was diverted to left pulmonary artery. Anomalous pulmonary venous connections to LSVC are rare. Embryology of venous development is analyzed with respect to this rare anomaly, and options for surgical correction are discussed.

“…Manohar and Tharakan [19] reported a 3-year-old woman with dextrocardia and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary sinus, who presented with recurrent respiratory infections and delayed development. Echocardiography revealed normal atrial situs with dextroversion, all four pulmonary veins draining into a large coronary sinus, secundum ASD, and mild pulmonary hypertension.…”

Introduction: Systemic venous circulation anomalies are uncommon; they are often incidental findings during echocardiography. Case: A 56-year-old man, with dextrocardia, was evaluated for dyspnea. The patient's medical history included diabetes mellitus requiring insulin treatment, hypertension, and tobacco use. Physical examination revealed normal jugular venous pulsations and clear lungs. Cardiac examination revealed normal heart sounds, and grade II/VI systolic ejection murmur over the right precordium. Echocardiography revealed normal chamber size and systolic function, without significant valvular lesions. The coronary sinus was dilated. It was evaluated using intravenous agitated saline contrast to rule out anomalous venous drainage or shunting. When injected into the left antecubital vein, contrast appeared initially in the right atrium followed by the right ventricle. However, when injected into the right antecubital vein, contrast appeared initially in the dilated coronary sinus followed by the right atrium and right ventricle. There was no evidence of intracardiac shunting. These findings were consistent with persistent right superior vena cava in the setting of situs inversus dextrocardia, with normally draining left superior vena cava. Conclusion: Persistent superior vena cava connection to the coronary sinus is often incidental but an important finding which helps in planning safe invasive procedures.
