TY - JOUR AU - Shalaby, Mohamed Sameh PY - 2020 DA - 2020/11/30 TI - The “branching external jugular vein”: an unreported clinically significant anatomic variation JO - Annals of Pediatric Surgery SP - 48 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - The reported overall success rate for central venous catheter (CVC) insertion into the external jugular vein (EJV) is less than other central veins. A contributing factor for this might be the well-documented anatomical variations of the EJV. However, there are no reports correlating these anatomical variations with successful CVC insertion. Our aim was to evaluate the EJV anatomical variations and their clinical relevance. SN - 2090-5394 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s43159-020-00059-3 DO - 10.1186/s43159-020-00059-3 ID - Shalaby2020 ER -
