	Brachiocephalic vein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The left and right brachiocephalic veins or innominate veins in the upper chest are formed by the union of each corresponding internal jugular vein and subclavian vein.
		The brachiocephalic veins are the major veins returning blood to the superior vena cava.
		Veins of the upper extremity and thorax in Gray's Anatomy

	Superior Vena Cava Bypass Using Spiral Vein Graft - Ministernotomy Technique
		The length of vein required for a graft of the same size as the innominate vein is related to the ratio of the diameter of the graft desired and the average diameter of the saphenous vein.
		The innominate vein is occluded with a soft jaw clamp.
		An end-to-end anastomosis of the spiral vein graft to the innominate vein is constructed using 7-0 polypropylene suture.

		Behind it are the three large arteries, innominate, left common carotid, and left subclavian, arising from the aortic arch, together with the vagus and phrenic nerves.
		The left innominate vein may occupy a higher level, crossing the jugular notch and lying directly in front of the trachea.
		These veins receive esophageal tracheal, and inferior laryngeal veins, and are provided with valves at their terminations in the innominate veins.

		The right innominate vein runs vertically downwards behind the edge of the manubrium, whereas the left innominate vein passes at an angle of about 45 degrees across the superior mediastinum to join the right at the lower border of the first right costal cartilage (Figure 1).
		The left innominate vein is covered anteriorly by the thymus or thymic remnant and is separated posteriorly from the trachea by the pretracheal fascia.
		The vein is occasionally intentionally divided (and subsequently reconstituted) during aortic arch surgery and for this reason the route of insertion of a CV or PA catheter should always be discussed with the surgeon before undertaking this kind of procedure.

	Subclavian Vein: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The subclavian vein is the continuation of the axillary vein and runs from the outer border of the first rib to the medial border of scalenus anterior where it joins with the internal jugular vein to form the innominate vein (Figure 1).
		The vein is separated posteriorly from the subclavian artery by the insertion of scalenus anterior and postero-medially from the dome of the pleura by Sibson's fascia (suprapleural membrane).

	Venoatrial
		Exposure of this portion of the vein is afforded by splitting the diaphragm to the venocaval hiatus.
		Connection to the left cardinal vein results in total anomalous pulmonary venous return to the coronary sinus if the left cardinal vein involutes as it normally does, or in total anomalous pulmonary venous return to a left vertical vein which drains into the innominate vein if the left cardinal vein does not involute.
		In this variant, an oblique partition separates a proximal atrial chamber, to which are connected the pulmonary veins, from a distal chamber in free communication with the vestibule of the mitral valve and the mouth of the atrial appendage.

	PLAIN RADIOGRAPHIC DIAGNOSIS OF CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
		There is dilation of both the left and right innominate veins and the right superior vena cava producing the classical "snowman" or "figure of 8" appearance.
		Typically two anomalous veins from each lung converge directly behind the left atrium and form a common anomalous vertical vein, which passes anterior to the left pulmonary artery and the left main bronchus.
		The pulmonary veins from both sides converge behind the left atrium and form a common vertical descending vein, which courses anterior to the esophagus and traverses the diaphragm at the esophageal hiatus.

		The cause of the vein thrombosis is severe pinching of the vein at the thoracic inlet between the subclavius muscle tendon, the anterior scalene muscle, the first rib, and the clavicle.
		An invasive radiologist must puncture the vein in the edematous arm (sometimes with ultrasound assistance) and position the catheter in the thrombus for a continuous infusion of thrombolytic agents.
		For the operation to be successful, the vein patching over the stenotic segment must extend into the normal innominate vein beyond the point of the obstruction.

	Vein, jugular definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Vein, jugular: The jugular veins are in the neck and drain blood from the head, brain, face and neck and convey it toward the heart.
		The jugular veins are particularly prominent during congestive heart failure.
		When the patient is sitting or in a semirecumbent position, the height of the jugular veins and their pulsations provides an estimate of the central venous pressure and gives important information about whether the heart is keeping up with the demands on it or is failing.

		The left innominate vein is longer than the right because of the location of the heart.
		The right cardinal vein develops into the superior vena cava when the left innominate vein has developed, thus allowing all blood return to flow into the right atrium.
		These smaller veins branch off the left innominate vein and would not be acceptable for infusion of solutions with extremes of pH and osmolarity, for monitoring central venous pressure or for long-term infusion therapy.
