In the above article, which was published in Volume 16, Number 5 (October 2006), we stated on page 444, “In 2 hearts, bilateral inferior caval veins entered the right-and left-sided atriums …”.

As shown in Figure 1, however, this information was incorrect (cases 28 and 31). We should have stated that a solitary inferior caval vein crossed from side to side within the abdomen, before terminating in one or other of the atrial chambers. As far as we are aware, bilateral inferior caval veins have never been described in the setting of isomerism of the right atrial appendages.
