Persistent left superior vena cava is present in 3.3% of children with congenital heart disease and is significantly associated with specific defects like double outlet right ventricle and tetralogy of Fallot.
Arı et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=2,663). Specific congenital heart disease types (e.g., DORV, TOF, PDA, ASD) vs. Other congenital heart disease types was evaluated on Frequency of persistent left superior vena cava (p=<0.001). Persistent left superior vena cava was present in 3.3% of children with congenital heart disease and was significantly more frequent in those with double outlet right ventricle (P<0.001).
