👉 The CTD veins are a type of vein found in the chest that drain deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart. These veins are located between the pulmonary veins and the superior vena cava, making them easily accessible for medical procedures like blood draws or catheter insertions. The CTD veins are named after the CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) diagnosis they often accompany due to their location near areas affected by heart disease. Because of their accessibility, they are frequently used in interventional cardiology procedures.
