AUTOR(ES)
Richardson, James V.
RESUMO
This report describes a rare case of isolated anomalous connection of the inferior vena cava to the left atrium. Patching of a surgically-created atrial septal defect and rerouting of caval drainage ino the right atrium effected a successful correction. This case brings to 18 the total number of reported cases in the literature in which the inferior vena cava was connected to the left atrium.
