The chest X-ray showed massive left pleural effusion, so a computed tomography scan with contrast was performed, revealing massive left haemothorax with active bleeding (Fig., yellow circle) but no feeding vessels has been identified. A 1 month CT scan showed subclavian vein occlusion resolution after anticoagulation therapy started in second post-operative day, with no evidence of collateral venous circles (Fig. (a,b) The preoperative CT scan showing the left subclavian vein occlusion (yellow triangle) with the presence of a venous collateral circle (yellow arrow); (c) the follow-up CT scan after 30 days, showing the whole course of the left subclavian vein (yellow arrow) and the resolution of the collateral venous circle that completely misses. gl.
