The demographic characteristics of patients, clinical and radiographic findings, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and angiography results obtained from the patients\u2019 records were reviewed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>The median age of the patients was 9.5\u00a0months, and 46 of the 88 (52.3%) patients were female. The most common concomitant CHD<\/jats:styled-content> were ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle (DORV<\/jats:styled-content>), and tetralogy of Fallot (TOF<\/jats:styled-content>). When the patients were compared according to their CHD<\/jats:styled-content>, persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content> frequency was significantly higher in those with DORV<\/jats:styled-content> (P<\/jats:italic><.001), TOF<\/jats:styled-content> (P<\/jats:italic>=.04), patent ductus arteriosus (P<\/jats:italic>=.01), and atrial septal defect (P<\/jats:italic>=.03). Eighty\u2010three of the 88 (94.3%) patients with persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content> had right SVC<\/jats:styled-content>, and 5 (5.7%) had absence of the right SVC<\/jats:styled-content>. Twenty\u2010seven of the 83 (32.5%) patients with double SVC<\/jats:styled-content> had connected normal innominate vein. In all cases, right aortic arch association was seen in 14 (15.9%) patients. Eighty\u2010four (95.4%) of the patients were diagnosed by echocardiography prior to catheter angiography. Persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content> drained to the coronary sinus in all cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>Increased awareness about the association of certain CHD<\/jats:styled-content> with persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content> and a careful echocardiographic examination can facilitate the diagnosis of persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content>. In addition, precise prior diagnosis of persistent left SVC<\/jats:styled-content> can prevent complications during
