Persistent left superior vena cava is the most common congenital venous anomaly of the thoracic venous system, occurring in 0.3% to 0.5% of individuals in the general population. It may remain asymptomatic throughout life and be incidentally found in healthy individuals undergoing vascular procedures such as venous access device placements and endovascular cardiac interventions. Here we present a case of persistent left superior vena cava incidentally realized during chemoport insertion in a patient with breast cancer.
永存左上腔静脉是胸部静脉系统最常见的先天性静脉异常，在普通人群中的发生率为0.3%至0.5%。它可能终生无症状，在接受诸如静脉通路装置置入和心腔内血管介入等血管手术的健康个体中偶然发现。在此，我们报告一例在为一名乳腺癌患者插入化疗端口时偶然发现永存左上腔静脉的病例。
