Why the study?
Left-sided CRT implantation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is challenging or impossible, and right-sided implantation is tricky because delivery sheaths are designed for left-sided approaches.
Is right-sided CRT implantation via LBBAP feasible in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava?
