the knowledge of variations in the superficial veins is of clinical importance for the anatomist, radiologists, clinical practitioners and surgeons in order to plan about the operative procedures. usually cephalic vein drains into the axillary vein. in this case report study the left cephalic vein communicates with the left external jugular vein and made a common trunk at the superior surface o...

introduction central vein catheterization (cvc) is an important procedure for emergency departments (ed). despite the existence of ultrasonography (us) devices in every ed, cvc was accomplished by anatomical landmarks in many eds in iran. objective this study was designed for the evaluation of us-guided cvcs, anatomical landmark cvcs, and the promotion of us-guided cvc in iran. methods and mate...

conclusions the us-guided method for cvc placement was superior to the traditional landmark method in terms of access time, number of attempts, success rate, and fewer complications. objectives this study aimed to compare the traditional landmark method vs. us-guided method of cvc placement in terms of complications and success rate. patients and methods in this randomized controlled trial, pat...

conclusions in our conditions, the use of an anatomical landmark-guided procedure was the preferred treatment method due to limited resources and a lack of adequate training. background central venous cannulation is a current and important procedure used in the operating room and intensive care unit. some studies have shown that the application of ultrasound-guided cannulation can improve the s...

This is an observation of anomaly of the jugular veins system bilaterally. Both right and left external jugular veins drained into the subclavian veins. The right anterior jugular vein drained into the confluence of internal jugular and the subclavian veins as they join to form the right brachiocephalic vein. The left anterior jugular vein drained into the internal jugular vein just before it j...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to analyze characteristics of patients with bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis in our department during a 1-year period. Internal jugular vein thrombosis refers to an intraluminal thrombus occurring anywhere from the intracranial internal jugular vein to the junction of the internal jugular vein and the subclavian vein, which form the brachiocephalic ...

The study of the variations in the superficial veins of head and neck and their draining pattern is very important due to the complexity in their developmental pattern. A total of 32 cadavers of both sexes were used for the study and the head and neck region were dissected carefully and photographed in the department of anatomy, Vinayaka Mission Kirupananda Variyar Medical College & Hospital, S...
