Coarctation of the descending aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, deficiency of right superior vena cava, and persistent left superior vena cava in a five-month infant demonstrated by multislice computed tomography

摘要: Abstract A 5‐month‐old female presented in our hospital with cyanosis, peripheral psychroesthesia, and signifacantly lower blood pressure of limbs compared the upper limbs; suggesting aortic coarctation. The presence patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) was suspected by echocardiogram. Before surgery, we performed multislice computed tomography to determine spatial relationship between site coarctation, PDA, PLSVC. Although contrast material injected from right cubital vein, PLSVC exclusively enhaced; therefore, deficiency diagnosed. Coarctation DAo observed posterior direction PDA just distal coarctation located at Therefore, PLSVC, could be evalutaed a direct anastomosis ligation were performed.
