Abstract
Awareness of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), a rare congenital variant is helpful to a clinician to avoid the unnecessary complications. We report a case of PLSVC in a patient with chronic kidney disease which was identified following a difficult catheterization into the right internal jugular vein (IJV). The catheterization was attempted through the left IJV and the position of which could not be confirmed with check radiograph and two dimensional echo. PLSVC was suspected in the computed tomography angiography and was confirmed following digital subtraction angiography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
