Persistent left superior vena cava detected with radionuclide angiocardiography
Clin Nucl Med.
1985 Jan.
Abstract
A 28-year-old man presented with paresthesias, fatigue, central cyanosis, and erythrocytosis. A first pass flow study with Tc-99m as free pertechnetate was done, among other tests, to exclude a central shunt when a persistent left superior vena cava was incidentally detected. The value of radionuclide angiocardiography to examine the central circulation noninvasively was again illustrated in this case.
