We present our experience with successful single-stage correction of such a rare anomaly. 2. Case report A 13-year-old girl presented in New York Heart Association functional class II with a history of recurrent respiratory tract infections. [icvts.oxfordjournals.org]

Jose Caceres says: If left SVC is present why does it need a draining hemiazygos system? Bruno says: I think because right SVC may be absent or hipoplasic. [blog.myesr.org]

In the present case we report multiple venous variations occurring simultaneously in the same cadaver. [pulsus.com]

Other treatments include medicines and surgery. [icdlist.com]

Interventional radiologic measures are the primary treatments of choice in benign central venous obstruction, while the primary treatment for superior vena cava syndrome in patients with malignant disease is radiation therapy ( 1 ). [kjronline.org]

[…] venography was performed, as well as a second PTA treatment, if needed. [ajnr.org]

Prognosis The outcome is generally good, but with morbidity and mortality similar to those for subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis. PE can occur but is uncommon when full-strength systemic anticoagulation is in place. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Long-term prognosis in abnormal SVC development is good in the absence associated CHD [ 4 ]. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

The diagnosis of this lesion is important to the prognosis of the patient because of the consequences of brain abscess or cerebral emboli that may result from a right-to-left shunt [ 40, 41 ]. [radiologykey.com]

[…] is only common anomaly of SVC (90% of this anomaly) In other 10%, persistent SVC connects to left atrium Most with connection to left atrium have associated ASD or heterotaxy syndromes This produces a right-to-left shunt of a rather small magnitude Etiology [learningradiology.com]

Etiology Thrombosis associated with central venous catheters occurs more frequently than was previously believed. [emedicine.medscape.com]

There was no laboratory evidence of any metabolic or ischemic etiologies for the conduction disease. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]

In our patient, the etiology of the SVC obstruction was thought to be related to thrombus formation in the setting of an in-dwelling central line. We did not find evidence of a hypercoagulable state. Patch augmentation of the SVC was unsuccessful. [hemodinamiadelsur.com.ar]

Etiology The development of varicose veins of the legs is promoted and aggravated by pregnancy, obesity, genetics, chronic constipation, straining at stool, and occupations requiring prolonged standing. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Epidemiology Some studies suggest that the rate of thrombosis may be lower for Silastic (Dow Corning, Midland, MI) hemodialysis catheters inserted percutaneously than for those inserted surgically. [emedicine.medscape.com]

We believe the underlying pathophysiology of the associated venous stenosis renders venoplasty unlikely to be of long-term benefit. [members.sirweb.org]

Pathophysiology The classic triad predisposing to intravascular thrombosis was described first by Virchow and includes the following: Blood vessel trauma Stasis of blood flow Hypercoagulable state In the case of central venous lines, the catheter itself [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology The estimated 1 to 2% incidence of pulmonary embolism arising from upper extremity DVT has historically been underestimated. More recent estimates place the risk at 5 to 10%. [iame.com]

Our intent is to discuss specific situations where Lecompte’s maneuver can increase the risk of SVC thrombosis, so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken. [omicsonline.org]

A second operation was performed to prevent drainage from the left superior vena cava to the left atrium (via the unroofed coronary sinus) and to insert a PTFE conduit between the innominate vein and the right atrial appendage. [revespcardiol.org]

To prevent secondary complications such as a brain abscess, the authors redirected blood flow from the left superior vena cava to the right atrium utilizing a trimmed woven dacron vascular graft that was placed in the intra-atrial position. [rwjms1.umdnj.edu]

With the increasingly important use of diagnostic catheterization and corrective surgery in patients with congenital heart disease, the early detection and analysis of anomalies of the venous system during fetal life can significantly prevent morbimortality [fac.org.ar]
