Key result
Right internal jugular vein catheterization in a 24-year-old male with Stage 5 CKD revealed a rare Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava, which was successfully managed with flow rate adjustments.
Why the study?
Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that, while often asymptomatic, may pose challenges during central venous catheterization.

Supports recognition of PLSVC to ensure safe catheterization in CKD; leaves open need for prevalence studies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare vascular anomalies like PLSVC during central venous catheterization to ensure procedural success and safety.
Sinha et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Stage 5 chronic kidney disease and Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (n=1). Right internal jugular vein catheterization was evaluated. Right internal jugular vein catheterization in a 24-year-old male with Stage 5 CKD revealed a rare Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava, which was successfully managed with flow rate adjustments.
