AI Article Synopsis
- The levoatriocardinal vein is an uncommon condition, particularly when there’s no left-sided valvular atresia present.
- The case presented involves a patient with multiple muscular ventricular septal defects and a small atrial septal defect.
- Additionally, the patient experiences mitral regurgitation, which is the backward flow of blood through the mitral valve.
Article Abstract
Levoatriocardinal vein without left-sided valvular atresia is rare. We hereby present an image of the levoatriocardinal vein in a patient with multiple muscular ventricular septal defect with small atrial septal defect and mitral regurgitation.

Cor Triatriatum Sinister With a Decompressing Levoatriocardinal Vein: A Rare Association.

Article Synopsis
- A case is presented of a newborn with respiratory distress diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinister and a levoatriocardinal vein, which is uncommon in such conditions.
- The cor triatriatum condition caused significant flow limitations due to a membrane that separated the left atrial chambers, resulting in severe pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dilation.
- The patient underwent successful surgery to remove the obstructive membrane and ligate the levoatriocardinal vein, leading to improved heart function and pulmonary pressures a month later.
Atrial Septum Perforation Via Levoatriocardinal Vein in a Newborn With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome with intact atrial septum has high perioperative mortality. An interventional septum perforation from the right atrium may be technically challenging in newborns with high risk of tamponade. However, neonates with a levoatriocardinal vein provide an alternative approach for septostomy from the left atrium side.

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital heart defect that is associated with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), ascending aorta dilatation, intracerebral aneurysms, and premature atherosclerotic disease. The first presentation during late adulthood is rare and is frequently driven by late sequelae. Hypertrophic collateral arteries can develop aneurysms which are at risk for spontaneous rupture, however, treatment recommendations for these aneurysms are scarce.

Background: We report an extremely rare case of pulmonary-to-systemic venous connection associated with the partially anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Our case highlights that computed tomography angiography has a significant diagnostic and differential value for this rare anomaly.
Methods And Results: A 32-year-old male presented with chest discomfort for 2 weeks.
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to persistent left superior caval vein: Or is it a "levoatriocardinal vein"?

Department of Cardiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
We report a case of a 3-month-old girl with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated an anomalous venous channel connecting the left brachiocephalic vein to the left atrium and all the pulmonary veins draining the left lung were seen draining individually into this channel. The case highlights the differential diagnosis of such veno-venous connections between the systemic and pulmonary venous circulations as well as the growing role of CT angiography in the understanding of these venous anomalies in the setting of complex congenital heart diseases.
