Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return

Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) is usually associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) of the right pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava (SVC), or to the SVC-right atrial junction. Standard procedure for repair of this defect is a patch roofing of the sinus venosus ASD and rerouting of pulmonary veins. However, the presence of SVC stenosis is a complication of this technique, and SVC augmentation is necessary in some cases. We present a simple technique for concomitant closure of sinus venosus ASD associated with PAPVR and augmentation of the SVC with a single autologous pericardial patch.

Superior Vena Cava Stenosis

Bendopnea, or dyspnoea with bending forward, is a recently described symptom of heart failure that is associated with elevated ventricular filling pressures. Here, we describe a case of superior vena cava (SVC) stenosis that presented with bendopnea and resolved with SVC recanalisation. We suggest that SVC stenosis be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who experience bendopnea.
