Panminerva Med. 1998 Dec;40(4):334-7.

Abstract

A nine-month-old boy, weighing 4840 g, with VSD associated with absent right superior vena cava and persistent left superior vena cava, successfully underwent surgical repair of VSD. This anomaly is rare and causes some surgical and electrophysiological problems. We discussed these problems and described the details of surgery in our case.
