Alerts clinicians to tailored venous access and cannulation in rare SVC anomalies during congenital repair; case report leaves open systematic validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Absent right superior vena cava with persistent left superior vena cava requires specific perioperative management, including alternative central venous access and modified cardiopulmonary bypass cannulation strategies.
Neema et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Tetralogy of Fallot, absent right superior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava (n=1). Transesophageal echocardiography and surgical repair was evaluated. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography successfully identified an absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava in a 22-year-old female undergoing tetralogy of Fallot repair.
