Image of the retroesophageal LBCV. A The LBCV runs behind the aorta and flows into the RSVC to form a U-shaped structure. B Color blood flow showing the retroesophageal LBCV. C–D Retroesophageal LBCV is shown using HD-flow render mode and STIC. E Postpartum 2D ultrasound image showing that the LBCV bypasses the esophagus. F Postpartum CTA showing that the LBCV bypasses the esophagus and merges into the RSVC, which was consistent with the prenatal image. G-H Structural presentation of a retroesophageal LBCV. G Anterior view. H Posterior view. LBCV, left brachiocephalic vein. AO, aorta; PA, pulmonary artery; SVC, superior vena cava; LDA, left ductus arteriosus; AzV, azygos vein; LAA, left aortic arch; ARCH, aortic arch; T, trachea; DAO, descending aorta; RBCV, right brachiocephalic vein; L, left; R, right; Ce, cephalic; Ca, caudal; A, abdominal; P, spinal
