Central line mal-positioned in an anomalous pulmonary vein

We present an unusual case of a 56-year-old woman that was found to have partial anomalous pulmonary venous return on central venous line insertion” Alzghoul et al (2017).

Abstract:

Central venous line malposition is a well-known complication of line insertion. Rarely, it can be mal-positioned in an anomalous pulmonary vein. We present an unusual case of a 56-year-old woman that was found to have partial anomalous pulmonary venous return on central venous line insertion. In this report, we describe a systematic approach to diagnosis and management of this unusual situation.
