Levoatriocardinal Vein Combined with Pulmonary Venous Varix Mimicking Arteriovenous Malformations: A Case Report
The levoatriocardinal vein is an uncommon pulmonary venous abnormality that connects the left atrium or pulmonary vein with the systemic vein. It is distinct from partial anomalous pulmonary venous return in that the former forms a connection with the left atrium through the normal pulmonary vein...

description |
The levoatriocardinal vein is an uncommon pulmonary venous abnormality that connects the
left atrium or pulmonary vein with the systemic vein. It is distinct from partial anomalous pulmonary
venous return in that the former forms a connection with the left atrium through the
normal pulmonary vein whereas the latter involves pulmonary venous drainage to the systemic
vein. Herein, we describe a case of the levoatriocardinal vein initially misdiagnosed as a pulmonary
arteriovenous malformation using chest radiography and chest CT. The levoatriocardinal
vein combined with pulmonary venous varix was confirmed using pulmonary angiography.
To the best of our knowledge, this unusual coexistence of the levoatriocardinal vein and pulmonary
venous varix has not been reported in English literature. |
