Abnormal Shadow

A patient with previous catheter ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation was examined for an abnormal shadow on a chest radiograph. ECG-gated multidetector CT clearly showed the left upper pulmonary vein connected with the left inferior pulmonary vein. We hypothesize an intrapulmonary venous connection as a collateral.

Left Pulmonary Vein

The patient was an 18-year-old man who suffered frequent supraventricular premature complexes (SVPCs)　and atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation was performed and left pulmonary vein had been isolated, although firing from within the left inferior pulmonary vein remained. After that, the patient did not exhibit SVPCs and atrial fibrillation.
