Abstract

A left hepatic vein draining into the coronary sinus is an extremely rare congenital abnormality as a solitary cardiovascular malformation. We encountered the anomaly during the mitral valve surgery in a 72-year-old woman. The operation was successfully carried out using an additional suction directly in the left hepatic vein.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: None declared.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2023.
