  • Title: Operative technique for persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium.
    Author: Komai H, Naito Y, Fujiwara K.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1996 Oct; 62(4):1188-90. PubMed ID: 8823113.
    Abstract:
    We applied a surgical method with an inverted flap of the left atrial appendage to construct an internal conduit in a 4-year-old girl with a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium associated with an atrial septal defect. The remaining defect of the septum was closed with autologous pericardium. The short-term result is satisfactory, although the long-term result remains to be ascertained.
