Inborn specific anomalies in the development of the cardio-vascular system require strong attention from physicians of many specialties, especially during diagnosing process. The results of all available diagnostic methods of patient examination determine the further treatment tactic. This tactic implying an individual approach to a specific pathology. There are some cases of combined defects of both, the arterial as well as the venous systems, which appealing special interest. This article describes case report of such anomalies in the structure of the vascular system. This case shown in the form of congenital inflection of the aortic arch with true coarctation and the persistent left vena cava superior.

Abstract Background While it is the most common thoracic venous anomaly, a persistent left vena cava superior may present in atypical variations, which are important to consider during clinical management. Case presentation Here we report a 35-year-old Caucasian female patient with drainage into the left atrial appendage who presented with shortness of breath accompanied by mild hypoxemia. Venous contrast filling in the context of pulmonary scintigraphy suspected an additional superior caval vein connected to the left atrial appendage. Diagnosis was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography. Cardiac catheterization revealed a minor right-to-left shunt. The symptoms could be allocated to a bronchial asthma and treated according to guidelines. Cerebral lesions detected in the patient were due to a coincident multiple sclerosis rather than cerebral embolisms. Thus, the venous anomaly was classified as an incidental finding currently requiring no treatment. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a persistent left vena cava superior draining into the left atrial appendage.

BACKGROUND: Structural features of the patients vascular system can cause unintended complications when providing vascular access and can disorient the specialist in assessing the location of the installed catheter. This study aimed to demonstrate anatomical features of the vascular system of the superior vena cava and diagnostic steps when providing vascular access in a child. CASE REPORT: Patient K (3 years old) was on planned maintenance of long-term venous access. Preliminary ultrasound examination of the superior vena cava did not reveal any abnormalities. Function of the right internal jugular vein under ultrasound control was performed without technical difficulties; a J-formed guidewire was inserted into the vessel lumen. X-ray control revealed its projection in the left heart, which was regarded as a technical complication, so the conductor was removed. A further attempt to insert a catheter through the right subclavian vein led to the same result. For a more accurate diagnosis, the child underwent computed angiography of the superior vena cava system. Congenital anomalies of the vascular system included aplasia of the superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. Considering the information obtained, the Broviac catheter was implanted under ultrasound control through the left internal jugular vein without technical difficulties with the installation of the distal end of the catheter into the left brachiocephalic vein under X-ray control. CONCLUSION: A thorough multifaceted study of the vascular anatomy helps solve the anatomical issues by ensuring vascular access and preventing the risks of complications.

Vena Cava Superior Syndrome

A nem malignus eredetű vena cava superior szindróma egyik, viszonylag ritka kiváltó oka a vena cava superior trombózisa. Az egyre gyakrabban használt centrális vénás katéterek, pacemaker-elektródák alkalmazásának egyik szövődménye lehet a centrális vénák trombózis, hegesedés okozta beszűkülése, elzáródása. Egy fiatal, urémiás, 2000-ben Tesio-dializálókatéter-beültetésben részesült nőbeteg katéterdiszfunkcióhoz társuló vena cava superior trombózisáról, illetve annak extracorporalis keringésvédelemben történő sebészi megoldásáról számolunk be. Az eset kapcsán vázoljuk a vena cava superior szindróma malignus, nem malignus és iatrogén kiváltó okait, továbbá a gyógyszeres, sebészi, katéteres és egyéb terápiás lehetőségeket.

Extracardiac Fontan

Reconstruction of nonconfluent pulmonary arteries during Fontan completion is a challenging technical issue. In this case report, we describe the use of an aortic homograft, including the aortic arch, to complete a Fontan and reconstruct the pulmonary artery confluence in a child with discontinuous pulmonary arteries and bilateral superior caval veins who had undergone bilateral unidirectional Glenn palliation. The configuration of the aortic homograft was ideal to ensure laminar flow from the inferior vena cava to both pulmonary arteries and in maintaining durable elastance posterior to the native aorta.
