Abstract

Intrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) with continued hemizygous is a very rare abnormality and sometimes it may be accompanied by other cardiovascular abnormalities. Continuation of the hemizygous vein draining into the right atrium through the left superior vena cava (LSVC) is much rarer. In this paper, we have presented a patient who had simultaneous IVC interrupted with persistent LSVC and suffered from Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Finally, radiofrequencies (RF) catheter ablation for AVNRT was successfully performed through a left subclavian vein access. © The Author(s) 2024.
