We report a case of a 3-month-old boy transposition of great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis where computed tomography (CT) angiography detected a "levoatriocardinal vein" connecting the left superior pulmonary vein and the left brachiocephalic vein with a preserved normal connection between the left superior pulmonary vein and left atrium. This case highlights the hemodynamic implications of a "levoatriocardinal vein" as well as the role of CT angiography in detecting such associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with complex congenital heart defects.
我们报告了一例 3 个月大的男孩大动脉转位、室间隔缺损和肺动脉瓣狭窄病例，计算机断层扫描（CT）血管造影显示一条“左旋心静脉”连接左肺上静脉和左头臂静脉，而左肺上静脉与左心房之间保持正常连接。该病例强调了“左旋心静脉”的血流动力学意义，以及 CT 血管造影在检测复杂先天性心脏缺陷患者中此类相关心血管异常的作用。
