    Author: Takeda K, Matsumura K, Ito T, Nakagawa T, Yamaguchi N.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 1998; 19(6):474-6. PubMed ID: 9770575.
    Abstract:
    Three cases with anomalous insertion of the superior or inferior vena cava into the right atrium are presented. One case was a 25-year-old healthy man with anomalous low insertion of the right superior vena cava into the right atrium. The remaining two cases were infants with complex cardiac anomalies showing anomalous high insertion of the inferior vena cava into the right atrium. The congenital anomalies of the connection between the superior and the inferior vena cava and the right atrium are rare. Angiographic and computed tomographic findings of these anomalies were reported.
