  2. External jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_jugular_vein

    This vein receives the occipital occasionally, the posterior external jugular, and, near its termination, the transverse cervical, transverse scapular, and anterior jugular veins; in the substance of the parotid, a large branch of communication from the internal jugular joins it. The external jugular vein drains into the subclavian vein lateral ...

  3. Jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_vein

    The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins. Finally, the left and right brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava, which delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. [2] The jugular vein has tributaries consisting of petrosal sinus, facial, lingual ...

  4. Vascular access for chemotherapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access_for...

    A tunneled catheter is a catheter (a thin tube) that is placed in a vein for long-term use. It is most commonly placed in the neck (internal jugular) but may also be placed in the groin (femoral), liver (transhepatic), chest (subclavian) or back (translumbar). [3]

  5. Central venous catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_venous_catheter

    The percutaneous CVC is inserted directly through the skin. The subclavian (left), internal (right) or external jugular, or femoral vein is used. There are several types of central venous catheters; these can be further subdivided by site (where the catheter is inserted into the body) as well as the specific type of catheter used. [39]

  6. Dialysis catheter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialysis_catheter

    Common site of catheter placement is placed by puncturing the right internal jugular vein (IJV) in the neck, advancing into superior vena cava (SVC) towards the right atrium of the heart due to its straightforward path into the SVC. Alternatively, a SVC catheter can be inserted via the right external jugular vein (EJV) if right IJV is ...

  7. Posterior external jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Posterior_external_jugular_vein

    The posterior external jugular vein begins in the occipital region and returns the blood from the skin and superficial muscles in the upper and back part of the neck, lying between the splenius and trapezius. It runs down the back part of the neck, and opens into the external jugular vein just below the middle of its course.

  8. Vascular access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access

    Catheter access, sometimes called a CVC (central venous catheter), consists of a plastic catheter with two lumens (or occasionally two separate catheters) which is inserted into a large vein (usually the vena cava, via the internal jugular vein or the femoral vein) to allow large flows of blood to be withdrawn from one lumen, to enter the dialysis circuit, and to be returned via the other lumen.
