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.

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.
