Aberrant Left Brachiocephalic Vein versus Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava without Bridging Vein in Adults: Evaluation on Computed Tomography

Abstract

Objective: Persistent left superior vena cava without bringing vein (PLSVC w/o BV) is a common thoracic venous anomaly, while aberrant left brachiocephalic vein (ALBCV) is an uncommon condition. We compared the incidences of the two venous anomalies and assessed congenital cardiovascular diseases (CCDs) in adults using computed tomography (CT).
