We present a case of persistent left superior caval vein in a univentricular heart presenting with progressive and disabling cyanosis in a 35-year-old man eighteen years after his Kawashima operation. The vein was successfully occluded using an atrial septal occluder with significant improvement of symptoms and oxygen saturation.

AbstractA unidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis was performed on the right side in a patient with a functionally univentricular heart, atresia of main and left pulmonary artery, bilateral superior caval veins, and a patent arterial duct in the right pulmonary artery. Anastomosis of the left superior caval vein to the right superior caval vein created a neo-innominate vein without using prosthetic material.

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.

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.
