Abstract

We report a case of persistent left superior caval vein whom presented with angina pectoris and exertional dyspnea. Echocardiography showed wall motion disturbances with an ejection fraction of 40% and a very large coronary sinus. Our case is a very rare case with a very large coronary sinus presented with angina pectoris.
