    Author: Abadir S, Bouzguenda I, Boudjemline Y, Agnoletti G.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 2007 May; 100(5):470-3. PubMed ID: 17646777.
    Abstract:
    Persistent left superior caval vein draining into the left atrium is responsible for a right-to-left shunt which can be source of desaturation and systemic embolism. We present 2 cases of successful percutaneous treatment in 2 patients in whom no bridging vein existed and systemic desaturation was found after repair of the underlying congenital heart.
