The most common radioanatomic position of the extrathoracic subclavian-axillary vein was observed at zone 2 according to our method and the probability of presence of venous valve over the first rib is 22%. Additionally, the success rate of puncture using fluoroscopic landmarks over zone 2 was 90.7%.
