Unusual Course of a Pulmonary Artery Catheter Due to Absence of Right Superior Vena Cava

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The persistent left superior vena cava may complicate the placement of vascular access. It rarely occurs with an absence of the right superior vena cava. We present a chest X-ray of a patient with this rare anomaly that was demonstrated incidentally with an unusual course of a pulmonary artery catheter course.
