title: Surgical Treatment of Dextroversion, Isolated Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Draining Into the Left Atrium.
abstract: We report a rare case of dextroversion accompanied with atrial septal defect (ASD), persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava in a four-year-old male. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft as an extracardiac conduit was used to connect the persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with the right atrial appendage.
