Implantation of Transvenous Permanent Pacemaker in a Patient with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava and Absent Right Superior Vena Cava

Implantation of Transvenous Permanent Pacemaker in a Patient with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava and Absent Right Superior Vena Cava

Vascular access has remained a major challenge for implantation of permanent pacemaker leads. A persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (LSVC), especially with an absent Right Superior Vena Cava (RSVC), is a rare finding during pacemaker implantation and is accompanied by technical difficulties. Herein,...

A persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (LSVC), especially with an absent Right Superior Vena Cava (RSVC), is a rare finding during pacemaker implantation and is accompanied by technical difficulties. Herein, we describe a case of sinoatrial node arrest, in which finding a suitable vein for passing the lead was challenging. The patient had a persistent LSVC with an absent RSVC.
