Description
Summary:We present a case of a 4-year-old male with persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium. Transcatheter device closure of left superior vena cava was successfully performed. In this report, we review possible associated venous anomalies and discuss the role of multimodality imaging. •Persistent left superior vena cava to left atrium is a rare anomaly.•Abnormal systemic or pulmonary venous connection may occur in association with persistent left superior vena cava.•Echocardiography and multimodality imaging are essential to make the diagnosis and plan the treatment strategy.
