An 86-year old asymptomatic male was incidentally found to have a variant of levoatrial cardinal vein (LACV) forming a complete venous ring. This is the first report of this variant. Although rare, the ability to identify LACV in the adult population is clinically significant because it may result in bi-directional shunt and the development of symptoms is an indication for intervention.
一位 86 岁无症状男性偶然被发现存在左旋心总静脉(LACV)变异,形成完整的静脉环。这是该变异的首次报告。虽然罕见,但在成年人群中识别 LACV 的能力具有重要的临床意义,因为它可能导致双向分流,而症状的出现则是介入治疗的指征。
