“…However, in 10-20% of cases, it drains to the left atrium either via unroofed coronary sinus, or in a straight line fashion into the roof of the left atrium, or the left superior pulmonary vein [ 10 ]. It is in this kind of abnormal connection where there is shunting and occlusion is required [ 11 ]. We describe a case of combined coarctation of the aorta and PSLVC draining into the left pulmonary vein treated percutaneously.…”

We describe a 54-year-old male with history of type II DM, hypertension and dyslipidemia during admission for bronchopneumonia discovered to have coarctation of the aorta and a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining into the left atrium through the left superior pulmonary vein. The latter was thought to contribute to a transient ischemic attack and an episode of chest pain resulting in ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads. He was treated with coarctation stenting and percutaneous exclusion of the PLSVC with a vascular plug.
