jugular-subclavian junction (JSJ)

I think it's this:

confluente yugulosubclavio derecho = right jugular-subclavian junction

desemboca en el confluente yugulosubclavio derecho.

Reference:

El conducto torácico aparece junto al confluente yugulo-subclavio

...termina generalmente en el confluente yugulosubclavio.

...it ends in the jugular subclavian confluence.

However, the ‘venogenic’ hypothesis would also demand a degree of jugular venous incompetence. Knappertz noted that functional valves are usually present in the jugular veins adjacent to the jugular subclavian junction and these prevent retrograde transmission of venous pressure to the head during effort.

Also 'jugular-subclavian confluence'.

Thus, along with subclavian vein drainage, other EJV terminations might also be encountered: jugular-subclavian confluence and the internal jugular vein (IJV).
