Key result
Surgical correction using a specially designed Dacron patch and vascular graft successfully redirected blood flow from the left superior vena cava to the right atrium without congestion.
Case Report
A novel surgical technique using a specially designed Dacron patch and graft successfully corrected a rare combination of persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, atrial septal defect, and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

Supports feasibility of novel Dacron patch repair for rare PLSVC anomalies; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger series.
Akasaka et al. (1978) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return and atrial septal defect. Surgical correction using a large Dacron patch connected with a knitted Dacron vascular graft was evaluated on Postoperative cardiac evaluation of blood stream and pulmonary venous drainage. Surgical correction using a specially designed Dacron patch and vascular graft successfully redirected blood flow from the left superior vena cava to the right atrium without congestion.
