“…As with our patient, technical difficulties imposed by convoluted coursing may be encountered when attempting to ICD 2 3 14 15. Similar issues may arise when other transvenous procedures (via left subclavian approach) are attempted.…”

We report a case of a complicated vascular access secondary to systemic venous defects, which have not been previously reported. Evaluation revealed an atypical coursing of a subclavian vein-persistent superior vena caval system into the hemizygos-azygos system and ultimately into the right (proper) superior vena cava. The clinical and surgical considerations of such an anomaly are discussed therein. We look at embryological origins of such a merger and share our experience in troubleshooting through the anomaly.

An unusual case of uninterrupted inferior vena cava with accessory hemizygous channel: An incidental finding in a child

Azygos or hemizygous continuation of inferior vena cava (IVC) is diagnosed in the presence of intrahepatic interruption of IVC. We report a case of a 4-year-old, male child presenting with a history of poor weight gain. A detailed evaluation of the child revealed a diagnosis of hemizygous continuation of uninterrupted, but severely obstructed, IVC. This incidental finding has rarely been reported in the literature.

“…Failure of the hepatic and prerenal segments to fuse is the most common developmental anomaly of the IVC and results in infrahepatic IVC interruption. The infrahepatic IVC may continue as the azygos vein [ 10 , 11 ] or may continue as the hemiazygos vein to the left superior vena cava, intrathoracic veins [ 12 ] or anomalous intrahepatic veins [ 13 ]. The hepatic segment of the IVC drains directly into the right atrium as in our case [ 3 ].…”

We present a woman having congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from the right lung with atrial septal defect in a 38-year-old. Congenital anomalies of inferior vena cava are rare. They are seen more often in young males. If there are not other anomalies, they are latent for a long time. Peripheral venous thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, dyspnea and fatigue are often the first symptoms of these anomalies. Surgical repair of atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return include provision of durably unobstructed systemic and pulmonary venous pathways, closure of the atrial septal defect, and avoidance of arrhythmias. The diagnosis has been determined by compression ultrasonography with color doppler assessment, multidetector computed tomography angiography and echocardiography.
