title: [A case of absent right and persistent left superior vena cava: echocardiographic diagnosis].
abstract: A 49-year-old man underwent transthoracic echocardiography for atypical chest pain. A dilated coronary sinus was found and venous contrast echocardiography raised the suspicion of absent right and persistent left superior vena cava. Transesophageal echocardiography showed no presence of right superior vena cava. The echocardiographic findings were confirmed by upper venous digital subtraction cavography.
