“…A persistent left superior vena cava coexisting with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary sinus has been described. 1 The usual surgical repair consists of cutting back the roof of the coronary sinus into the left atrium and closure of the atrial septal defect as well as the coronary sinus, directly or with a pericardial patch. 2 The left superior vena cava-to-coronary sinus connection has to be disrupted to prevent severe systemic desaturation and this can be achieved by simple ligation of the left superior vena cava at its confluence with the innominate vein.…”

A 3-year-old female child presented with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection to the coronary sinus coexisting with a persistent left superior vena cava. During the surgical correction, since there was no innominate vein, the left superior vena cava required diversion to avoid systemic desaturation. This was achieved by end-to-side left superior vena cava-to-left pulmonary artery anastomosis that was technically easier than transposing it to the right atrium.

One hundred seventy adult patients with possible congenital or valvular heart disease underwent contrast two-dimensional echocardiographic examination as part of a precatheterization evaluation. Persistent left superior vena cava was detected in 5 patients, each of whom demonstrated an abnormally large coronary sinus. Injection of echocardiographic contrast material from a peripheral left arm vein resulted in early opacification of this structure before other right-side chambers, thus suggesting abnormal venous drainage. Persistent left superior vena cava was confirmed in all 5 patients at the time of catheterization and/or surgery.
