Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava with Absent Right Superior Vena Cava: Review of the Literature and Clinical Implications

Azeem S. Sheikh, Sajjad Mazhar

Echocardiography > 31 > 5 > 674 - 679

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common venous anomaly of the thorax affecting 0.5–2% of the general population. PLSVC with absent right SVC, which is also referred to as isolated PLSVC, occurs in 0.09–0.13% of patients. PLSVC should be suspected whenever a dilated coronary sinus is discovered on transthoracic echocardiography. Transthoracic echocardiography serves as an excellent...

Revista Espanola de Cardiologia (English Edition) > 2010 > 63 > 3 > 352-356

Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common valvulopathy in Europe. In symptomatic patients, aortic valve replacement with a prosthesis substantially improves prognosis. However, a high percentage of candidates for valve replacement surgery are rejected because of the high risk of serious complications. In recent years, percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed...

Severe Covid‐19 and acute pulmonary hypertension: 24‐month follow‐up regarding mortality and relationship to initial echocardiographic findings and biomarkers

Joakim Norderfeldt, Andreas Liliequist, Staffan Eksborg, Claes Frostell, more

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica > 67 > 2 > 206 - 212

Introduction Critically ill Covid‐19 patients are likely to develop the sequence of acute pulmonary hypertension (aPH), right ventricular strain, and eventually right ventricular failure due to currently known pathophysiology (endothelial inflammation plus thrombo‐embolism) that promotes increased pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressure. Furthermore, an in‐hospital trans‐thoracic...
