Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the type and pregnancy evolution of persistent fetal left superior vena cava（PLSVC） complicated with intracardiac malformations. Methods The data of 90 fetal cases with persistent left superior vena cava were collected via imaging and patients’ case system of the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University. The types of congenital and external malformations and pregnancy outcomes of the fetus were retrospectively analyzed. Result PLSVC was diagnosed in 76（84.4%） fetuses at 22-24 weeks of systemic ultrasonography, and 14（15.6%） fetuses were found in late pregnancy. Among the 90 fetuses, 26（28.9%） had combined intracardiac anomalies, 21（23.3%） had combined extracardiac anomalies, and 50（55.5%） had uncomplicated anomalies. The most common intracardiac anomaly was aortic arch narrowing or arch dysplasia（34.6%）, followed by ventricular septal defect（26.9%）, and the most common extracardiac anomaly was single umbilical artery. Conclusion The persistent left superior vena cava is closely related to congenital heart disease. For fetuses with PLSVC, observation of cardiac function should be strengthened during pregnancy. In prenatal ultrasound screening, the section of innominate vein should be added to the section of four cavities and three vessels to improve the detection rate of PLSVC.
