[Surgical considerations on levo-atrial systemic vein (author's transl)].
The levo-atrial systemic vein is a special type of persistent left superior vena cava and is associated with other intracardiac lesions most often. Hemodynamically there is a right to left shunt. The operative procedure may consist in a ligature in relation to the anatomic situation. The intraatrial correction intends a drainage to the right atrium. Of 7 cases four times a intracardiac rerouting was achieved but two times a ligation was performed.
