Orthotopic heart transplantation in patients with an isolated persistent left superior vena cava is extremely rare, and the anastomotic connection between a right-sided donor superior vena cava and left-sided recipient superior vena cava can be challenging to perform. We present a novel technique used in an infant female, using the left atrial appendage to extend the superior vena cava anastomosis.
原位心脏移植术在孤立性永存左上腔静脉患者中极为罕见，且右心耳供体上腔静脉与左心耳受者上腔静脉之间的吻合连接可能具有挑战性。我们提出了一种在婴儿女性中使用的新技术，即利用左心耳来延长上腔静脉吻合口。
