The left brachiocephalic vein is longer than the right brachiocephalic vein. This is because the left brachiocephalic vein has to travel a greater distance across the thorax to connect to the superior vena cava, as it crosses over the midline. In contrast, the right brachiocephalic vein is shorter and more vertical, as it is positioned closer to the superior vena cava.
