| Abstract: | We have reported a case of persistent left superior vena cava associated with a nonfunctional right superior vena cava. Twenty-nine cases of this venous pattern with anatomic study were found in the literature. Among these, as in the case here reported, only 3 showed an anatomic vestige, in the form of an atretic cord, of the right superior vena cava. In our case a ventricular septal defect was also present, which yielded certain features like those in origin of both great vessels from the right ventricle.The venous anomalies yielded an unusual course of the catheter during cardiac catheterization. These anomalies were identified by venous angiocardiography. |
