Percutaneous techniques can successfully treat the rare combination of coarctation of the aorta and a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium.
We describe a 54-year-old male with history of type II DM, hypertension and dyslipidemia during admission for bronchopneumonia discovered to have coarctation of the aorta and a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining into the left atrium through the left superior pulmonary vein. The latter was thought to contribute to a transient ischemic attack and an episode of chest pain resulting in ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads. He was treated with coarctation stenting and percutaneous exclusion of the PLSVC with a vascular plug.

Bugami et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Coarctation of the aorta and persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining into the left pulmonary vein (n=1). Percutaneous coarctation stenting and exclusion of PLSVC with a vascular plug was evaluated on Successful percutaneous treatment (abolition of gradient and occlusion of PLSVC). Percutaneous coarctation stenting and exclusion of the persistent left superior vena cava with an Amplatzer vascular plug II successfully treated the patient's dual anomalies.
