The chest angiotomography showed a dilatation in the pulmonary artery trunk, measuring 43 mm (Figure 1). In addition, there was a partial anomalous venous drainage from the right upper lobe to the superior vena cava (SVC) (one vein), with the confluence of the abnormal vein occurring 3 cm above the junction from the SVC with the right atrium (RA; Figures 1 and 2).
