Line Path

Central venous cannulation is the most common procedure performed in perioperative setting and intensive care unit. Many case reports reported unusual positioning of central line catheters. Here, we would like to report a case of central line path in persistent left superior vena cava, a rare entity with a course similar to the right internal jugular central line. Preoperative computed tomography chest showed duplex superior vena cava which was not reported.

Central Venous Access Lines

5 million central venous access lines are placed every year in the United States, and it is a common surgical bedside procedure. We present a case of a central venous catheter placement with port for chemotherapy use, during which a duplication of a superior vena cava was discovered on CTA chest after fluoroscopy could not confirm placement of the guidewire. Due to its potential clinical implications, superior vena cava duplication must be recognized when it occurs.

Venous Blood Gas

A 59-year-old male presenting for a living nonrelated kidney transplant has an intraoperative left internal jugular central venous catheter placed for operative access and monitoring. Post-anesthesia care unit postoperative chest X-ray shows possible aortic placement as read by radiology. The catheter is confirmed venous on insertion, with monitoring during the operation, and with repeat transduction and venous blood gas results postoperatively. A follow-up computed tomography scan shows findings consistent with persistent left superior vena cava. This can be associated with other cardiac abnormalities and an increased risk of complications, both mechanical and physiological. Care should be taken in patients identified with persistent left superior vena cava to prevent complications in future procedures.
