Prior to the advent of angiocardiography the diagnosis was made only at necropsy or operation.1Brody in 1942, in a classic review of the literature of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the right side of the heart, found only four necropsy reports of anomalous drainage into the inferior vena cava.2The first living patient with this anomaly was diagnosed by angiocardiography in 1943 and, together with another case studied with cardiac catheterization, was reported in 1949.1Recent reports indicate that there are now about 20...Bibliography1.
