Thoracic Venous Anomalies
TLDR
The radiologic findings of various anomalies of the pulmonary and systemic venous systems in the thorax are described to avoid misinterpretation and then performing unnecessary additional studies.Abstract:
The radiographic findings of normal and abnormal vascular structures can mimic soft-tissue masses and this can lead to inappropriate diagnostic procedures. An awareness of these anatomical features is required to avoid misinterpretation and then performing unnecessary additional studies. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the radiologic findings of various anomalies of the pulmonary and systemic venous systems in the thorax.read more

TL;DR: The use of 3D contrast-enhanced MR venography has proven extremely helpful in characterizing anomalous vasculature, and it is demonstrated how such techniques can help delineate the anomaly and differentiate from its mimics.

TL;DR: The incidental finding of isolated PLSVC in a patient who underwent aortic valve replacement is presented and it is shown that this condition can pose clinical difficulties with central venous access, cardiothoracic surgeries, and pacemaker implantation.

Levoatriocardinal Vein and Mimics: Spectrum of Imaging Findings
TL;DR: Levoatriocardinal vein can be differentiated from other more common anomalies, such as anomalous pulmonary venous return, persistent left superior vena cava, and dilated left superior intercostal vein, by its distinctive imaging features.
