Key result
Surgical correction using a patch closure and an extra-cardiac conduit successfully treated a 34-year-old male with persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium and an ASD.
Why the study?
Persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium is a rare condition.
Case Report (n=1)
Extra-anatomic surgical correction using an extra-cardiac conduit is a feasible approach for the rare condition of persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium associated with an atrial septal defect.

Rare LSVC-to-LA drainage with ASD warrants preoperative imaging vigilance; case report leaves open standardized surgical approaches.
Grandinetti et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium associated with atrial septal defect (n=1). Surgical correction (patch closure and extra-cardiac conduit) was evaluated. Surgical correction using a patch closure and an extra-cardiac conduit successfully treated a 34-year-old male with persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium and an ASD.
