A small bolus of iodinated contrast was injected through the newly inserted left subclavian CVL at the time of X-ray acquisition. The CVL passes from the left brachiocephalic vein into the left superior intercostal vein and then the accessory hemiazygos vein. Injected contrast streams across the midline into the azygos vein and arch.
