Abstract
In 22 cases of left atrial isomerism studied at the Brompton Hospital, four cases were found to have an unusual arrangement of the abdominal vessels. There was persistence of an inferior caval vein, partially anomalous hepatic venous connection and additional continuation of part of the venous return from the lower body through the azygos venous system. This venous pattern had surgical implications in our index case, since redirection of the inferior caval venous return was necessary.
