Description
A very rare anomaly of the hepatic vein is a single hepatic vein draining into the coronary sinus. This anomaly usually is related to the persistence of the left vitelline connection with the left sinus horn and the ductus venosus during the fetal period [1]. This type of venous anomaly without abnormal shunting of blood generally has no clinical importance but can give rise to technical difficulties in cardiac operations. We report a case with an anomalous left hepatic vein not diagnosed preoperatively but rather detected incidentally during the operation.
