Imaging of persistent left sided superior vena cava with echocardiography and multi-slice computed tomography: Implications for daily practice
Cardiol J 2011;18(3):332-336.
Abstract
Persistent left sided superior vena cava is a congenital abnormality encountered not uncommonly
by the echocardiographer or cardiac radiologist. Recognition of its presence is important
in the differential diagnosis of dilatation of the coronary sinus. We discuss the echocardiographic
and computed tomography findings of this congenital abnormality, and the
implications for clincal practice. (Cardiol J 2011; 18, 3: 332–336)
