There Is

suggestion

"A left-sided SVC forms when the left anterior cardinal vein is not obliterated during normal fetal development. The persistent left-sided SVC passes anterior to the left hilum and lateral to the aortic arch before rejoining the circulatory system. There are several possible drainage sites:"

Line 8:266 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"coronary sinus (92%) functionally insignificant since venous return from the head, neck and upper limbs is delivered to the right atrium ³"

Line 9:96 · Use the Oxford comma in 'head, neck and upper'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"Direct visualisation of a left-sided SVC is not possible; however, its presence can be implied if a catheter or line is in an unexpected left paramediastinal location."

Line 30:60 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"Transthoracic echocardiography may be enhanced by the use of agitated saline if there is clinical suspicion of a left-sided SVC. Placement of a peripheral intravenous cannula in the left arm, agitation of saline, and subsequent injection should coincide with visualisation of the right ventricular outflow tract and coronary sinus in the parasternal long-axis view; the latter (coronary sinus) will fill before the former (right ventricular outflow tract) in the presence of a left-sided SVC ⁷."

Line 38:368 · Use semicolons judiciously.
