Description
Summary:Persistent left superior vena cava can be diagnosed as an isolated form or associated with other right superior vena cava abnormalities. 1,2 The diagnosis of persistent left superior vena cava could be conducted incidentally during the implantation process of pacemaker (PM) or central venous catheter. [...]it should be emphasized that the techniques for PM implantation through the PLSVC are quite rare. 3–5 In this case, we have elaborated on the successful and rapid implementation of PM implantation and right ventricular (RV) lead placement in tortuous persistent left superior vena cava via coronary sinus (CS) sheath technique. [...]the procedure was cancelled after several attempts. [...]this technique is a novel procedure that can easily be performed in difficult cases with PLSVC.
