Case description

Surgical video case: persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining into the pulmonary veins is a rare congenital vascular anomaly. Instead of the normal connection of the left superior vena cava to the right atrium, in PLSVC, it connects to the pulmonary veins, leading to abnormal blood flow.

This condition can lead to various cardiovascular issues, and it often requires medical intervention, such as surgery or catheter-based procedures, to redirect the blood flow to the right atrium. If you or someone you know has this condition, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management options.
