Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the diagnostic modalities and clinical considerations for persistent left superior vena cava, a rare congenital thoracic venous anomaly that can complicate central venous access and pacemaker placement.
Bhatti et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with anomalous left hepatic vein drainage (n=1). Diagnostic imaging (venogram, echocardiography, chest CT) was evaluated on Diagnosis of PLSVC with anomalous left hepatic vein drainage. Diagnostic imaging including venogram, echocardiography, and chest CT successfully identified a rare persistent left superior vena cava with anomalous left hepatic vein drainage in an 86-year-old male.
