Excerpt

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) of the left upper pulmonary vein (LUPV) into the left innominate vein (LIV) usually passes anteriorly to the aortic arch [1]. Rarely, the vertical vein courses more posteriorly with a risk of compression between the left pulmonary artery (LPA) and the left main bronchus (LMB), or exceptionally between the LPA and the aorta [2]. We report an atypical PAPVD of the LUPV through a compressed vertical vein between the aorta and the LPA diagnosed by electrocardiographically gated 64-multislice computed tomography (MSCT). …
