  • Title: Persistent left superior vena cava: an intensivist's experience and review of the literature.
    Author: Pahwa R, Kumar A.
    Journal: South Med J; 2003 May; 96(5):528-9. PubMed ID: 12911199.
    Abstract:
    Persistent left superior vena cava is a relatively rare vascular anomaly. It is, however, the most common variation in the thoracic venous system. The anomaly is typically detected on chest x-ray after the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter or pacemaker leads. This report describes a case of persistent left superior vena cava detected after successful placement of a pulmonary artery catheter.
