Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-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.
