Need more info: The auxilliary SVC would not cause lupus. The former is a structural congenital anomaly of developmental anatomy/embryology. The latter is an acquired collagen vascular disease related to auto-immunity. Can't comment on your other medical issues without more information.

Vena cava: No known association between 2 vena cavae and lupus, other issues weren't named by you.
