Case study demonstrates CVC tip terminating in pulmonary vein

Extract:

“A 45-year-old female was admitted for encephalopathy after being found unresponsive. The patient was intubated, and a central line was placed in the left internal jugular (IJ) vein. The wire went in smoothly, and all ports flushed and drew back. Confirmatory chest x-ray (CXR) is shown in Figure 1. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a central line placed in the left IJ with the central line terminating in an anomalous pulmonary vein.”
