Interruption of inferior vena cava (IVC) with azygos continuation is a rare venous anomaly, and arrhythmogenic IVC is also rarely reported. Arrhythmogenicity of the hepatic segment of IVC in interruption of IVC has never been reported. We describe the case of a 37-year-old female with interrupted left IVC with azygos continuation to right superior vena cava and atrial tachycardia originating from the hepatic segment of IVC.
下腔静脉(IVC)中断并奇静脉延续是一种罕见的静脉异常,致心律失常性下腔静脉也鲜有报道。下腔静脉中断时下腔静脉肝段的致心律失常性从未被报道过。我们描述了一例37岁女性患者,其左位下腔静脉中断并奇静脉延续至右上腔静脉,且房性心动过速起源于下腔静脉肝段。
