AbstractA 45-year-old man with dyspnoea and palpitations exhibited a unique systemic-to-pulmonary veno-venous connection on preoperative CT images. A window of 31.5-mm diameter was evident between the superior caval vein and the middle pulmonary vein, which was normally connected to the left atrium via a 30-mm-diameter orifice. The atrial septum was intact.

AbstractDivision of the left atrium is a rare congenital lesion, but one which is amenable to complete surgical correction. We describe twin brothers, demonstrated to be monozygotic, who presented in infancy with cardiac failure, pulmonary congestion and mild cyanosis. Both were found to have systemic and pulmonary venous return to a common atrial chamber, separated from the left atrial appendage and the vestibule supporting the mitral valve by a typical muscular diaphragm with a single small orifice. In one twin, there was also persistence of the left superior caval vein, while, in the other twin, a remnant of the primary atrial septum was present. Excision of the diaphragm and neoseptation of the atrial chambers was performed in both infants. At 10 years after surgery, there was normal growth and development in both twins, with no evidence of recurrent obstruction.

AbstractBackgroundData regarding long-term outcome after percutaneous closure of left superior caval vein draining into the left atrium are lacking. The aim of the present study was to report the long-term follow-up by using contrast-enhanced CT.MethodsIn all, three patients underwent percutaneous closure of left superior caval vein draining into the left atrium between 2005 and 2015. All of them were evaluated clinically and underwent contrast-enhanced CT.ResultsIn one patient, the Amplatzer® Septal Occluder was used. In two patients, the Amplatzer® Vascular Plug type-1 was preferred: the device size/LSVC diameter ratio was 1.7 in the child and 1.2 in the adult. There were no early-onset or long-term onset complications. CT was performed 1, 2, and 10 years after the procedure, respectively. Complete occlusion of the vessel was documented in all. After 10 years since the procedure, CT revealed a persistent trivial residual shunt through the accessory hemiazygos vein in one patient, in whom the device was implanted above its drainage into the left superior caval vein. When an Amplatzer® Vascular Plug type-1 is oversized compared with the venous vessel diameter, it immediately assumes a dog-bone shape that disappears early to regain its shape memory and nominal size.ConclusionsPercutaneous occlusion of left superior caval vein draining into the left atrium has excellent early and long-term outcomes. The optimal implantation of the device is below the drainage of the accessory hemiazygos vein, when present. The device might be oversized compared with the left superior caval vein diameter according to the age of the patient.

ObjectivesWe sought to clarify the variations in the anatomy of the superior cavoatrial junction and anomalously connected pulmonary veins in patients with superior sinus venosus defects using computed tomographic (CT) angiography.MethodsCT angiograms of 96 consecutive patients known to have superior sinus venosus defects were analysed.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 34.5 years. In seven (7%) patients, the defect showed significant caudal extension, having a supero-inferior dimension greater than 25 mm. All patients had anomalous connection of the right superior pulmonary vein. The right middle and right inferior pulmonary vein were also connected anomalously in 88 (92%) and 17 (18%) patients, respectively. Anomalous connection of the right inferior pulmonary vein was more common in those with significant caudal extension of the defect (57% vs 15%, p=0.005). Among anomalously connected pulmonary veins, the right superior, middle, and inferior pulmonary veins were committed to the left atrium in 6, 17, and 11 patients, respectively. The superior caval vein over-rode the interatrial septum in 67 (70%) patients, with greater than 50% over-ride in 3 patients.ConclusionAnomalous connection of the right-sided pulmonary veins is universal, but is not limited to the right upper lobe. Not all individuals have over-riding of superior caval vein. In a minority of patients, the defect has significant caudal extension, and anomalously connected pulmonary veins are committed to the left atrium. These findings have significant clinical and therapeutic implications.

AbstractBiatrial drainage of the right superior caval vein is an extremely rare cardiac anomaly that generally presents in childhood. We present a case of anomalous connection of the right superior caval vein with superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return in a 5-month-old male presenting with unexplained cyanosis and hypoxia.

AbstractWe report two female patients, one aged four years and the other a newborn, referred for evaluation of cyanosis with otherwise normal cardiovascular findings, who proved to have the right superior caval vein draining into the morphologically left atrium. In both patients, the diagnosis was made by color flow mapping. The older child underwent catheterization and subsequent successful surgical correction. A right superior caval vein draining into the left atrium, although very rare, should always be considered a diagnostic possibility in the presence of cyanosis and normal clinical findings. Color flow mapping is an excellent method with which to make the diagnosis.

AbstractPartially anomalous pulmonary venous connection of a solitary pulmonary vein in the setting of an intact atrial septum is often subclinical, and the indications for surgical repair are controversial. Here we describe a patient who developed a significant shunt over a period of 10-years. Flow through the anomalously connected pulmonary segment depends on the difference of pressure between the right and left atrium, and may increase with age.
