Persistent left superior vena cava is a relatively rare vascular anomaly. It is, however, the most common variation in the thoracic venous system. The anomaly is typically detected on chest x-ray after the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter or pacemaker leads. This report describes a case of persistent left superior vena cava detected after successful placement of a pulmonary artery catheter.
永存左上腔静脉是一种相对罕见的血管异常。然而，它是胸静脉系统中最常见的变异。这种异常通常在放置肺动脉导管或起搏器导线后通过胸部X线检查发现。本报告描述了一例在成功放置肺动脉导管后发现永存左上腔静脉的病例。
