Just "google"

LSVC

People are born with this anatomical defect, it affects about 3% of the population, it doesn't normally cause any bother and most are unaware of the defect.

However it presents real problems if the patient needs a pacemaker catheter inserted or to perform an abration as I need due to the shape of the vein

The SUPERION VENA CAVE IS A THE LARGE SHORT VEIN

WHICH TAKES THE DEOXINATED BLOOD FROM THE UPPER LIMBS AND BRAIN

AND FEEDS IT INTO THE LEFT ATRIUM
