Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is the commonest congenital anomaly of the thoracic venous system. It is within the group of anomalous systemic venous return (ASVR) and the group is subdivided in cephalic, involving the superior vena cava (SVC) and caudal, involving the inferior vena...

compared to 3 by 2DUS(2 VSDs and 1 persistent left superior vena cava), but the difference was not statistically significant. 4DUS had 19 false-positive diagnoses (10 VSDs, 4 coarctation of the aorta, 2 persistent left superior vena cava, 1 pulmonary stenosis, 1 tricuspid dysplasia, and ...
In a fetus with a small left ventricle diagnosed at mid-gestation, a persistent left superior vena cava connected to a dilated coronary sinus was detected. Although the size of the mitral annulus appeared to be normal, opening of the mitral valves was restricted in diastole. Echocardiographic fo...

Other vascular anomalies like single umbilical artery and persistent left superior vena cava were also diagnosed along with facial anomalies. The diagnosis of DV agenesis becomes easier if it is associated with other findings, mainly cardiomegaly and other vascular abnormalities and therefore, evaluation...

The majority of blood from the right ventricle travels out the pulmonary artery across the ductus arteriosus to supply the postductal circulation. Enough mixing occurs to supply the necessary oxygen to the ...
