We describe the first reported patient with a persistent left superior vena cava that communicates directly with the left atrium as an isolated congenital defect. She developed mitral stenosis and physiologic conditions that favored left-to-right shunting—a modified Lutembacher's syndrome. Noninvasive cardiac imaging completely elucidated her cardiac anatomy and physiology.

Key Words: left superior vena cava • left-to-right shunt • Lutembacher's syndrome
