  • Title: Hepatic venous connection to a persistent inferior caval vein in left isomerism.
    Author: Guenthard J, Carvalho JS, Anderson RH, Rigby ML.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 1990 Sep; 11(9):845-7. PubMed ID: 2226511.
    Abstract:
    In 22 cases of left atrial isomerism studied at the Brompton Hospital, four cases were found to have an unusual arrangement of the abdominal vessels. There was persistence of an inferior caval vein, partially anomalous hepatic venous connection and additional continuation of part of the venous return from the lower body through the azygos venous system. This venous pattern had surgical implications in our index case, since redirection of the inferior caval venous return was necessary.
