Absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava. Clinical and surgical considerations.

From 4,100 patients who had cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease and " normocardia ", 6 were found to have a persistent left superior vena cava ( PLSVC ) and an absence of right superior vena cava ( RSVC ). Because of the rarity of this finding (1.46%) the clinical and surgical implications are considered. Four of them were successfully operated upon.

Quadricuspid aortic valve.

A case of quadricuspid aortic valve is described. The anomaly was unexpectedly found during operation for aortic valve replacement in a 70-year-old woman. Macroscopic and histological examinations of the valve showed no sign of previous inflammatory disease. Quadricuspid aortic valve must be considered, therefore, a malformation capable of leading to severe valve failure in later life.
