Review Case ReportsPersistent left superior vena cava draining into the coronary sinus: report of 10 cases and literature review.
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common thoracic venous anomaly. ⋯ This study describes 10 new cases of PLSVC and supports the necessity of considering PLSVC draining into the coronary sinus in the diagnosis of patients presenting with dilated coronary sinus diagnosed by TTE. It also underlines the important role of MR imaging in the evaluation of these abnormalities. An associated heart disease must always be excluded in these patients.
