AbstractHemiazygos vein and Accessory hemiazygos vein lie on the left side in the posterior mediastinum of thorax and are the counterpart of azygos vein on right side. During routine cadaveric dissection of thoracic region in an adult male, we found an abnormal venous channel which was single and was lying on the left side of the vertebral column. It received tributaries from superior intercostal vein and posterior intercostal veins. We found this abnormal venous channel draining directly into left brachiocephalic vein in contrast to its usual drainage into azygos vein. Hence this can be considered as abnormal venous channel and variant of hemiazygos vein and accessory hemiazygos vein. The azygos and hemiazygos venous system is commonly encountered during surgical intervention performed on posterior thoracic wall. This case report provides a new data of potential clinical significance.

Multi Detector Computed Tomography

The left brachiocephalic vein occasionally follows an aberrant course. It is usually associated with congenital cardiac anomaly. We present a case of anomalous left brachiocephalic vein which followed a sub aortic course, with no cardiac abnormality. Multi detector computed tomography is very useful in accurate diagnosis of this condition and prevents any further investigation in cases of isolated abnormalities.

Hemodialyzed Patient

Background: The cuff catheter is one of the most common routes of vascular access in hemodialysis patients, while severe complications can occur during cuff catheter placement, such as bleeding, hematoma, and artery or vein damage. During catheterization, brachiocephalic vein perforation associated with a mediastinal lesion is rare. Open chest repair is effective for brachiocephalic vein perforation during catheter placement, but it entails a risk of potentially lethal trauma. Interventional treatment can be considered to reduce injury in this context, but relevant reports are limited.Case report: Herein, we describe our experience with a 68-year-old male hemodialyzed patient in whom cuff catheter vascular access was required for regular hemodialysis. He complained of mild pain in the left side of his chest during cuff catheter placement. The surgeon immediately checked the location of the catheter. Digital subtraction angiography revealed that the hemodialysis cuff catheter had punctured the mediastinal area from the left brachiocephalic vein. The patient was diagnosed with left brachiocephalic vein perforation (d ≈ 5 mm). Fortunately, the brachiocephalic vein perforation was successfully repaired with two embolization microcoils after comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary consultation.Conclusion: Brachiocephalic vein perforation can be repaired with embolization microcoils during hemodialysis catheter placement, and this method of interventional treatment is safe and effective.
