This case demonstrates that a right subclavian approach can be successfully used for pacemaker implantation in patients with a persistent left superior vena cava when a left-sided approach is not feasible.
Jović et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava requiring pacemaker implantation (n=1). Pacemaker implantation via right subclavian approach was evaluated on Successful placement of pacemaker electrode. Single-chamber pacemaker implantation with a passive electrode through a persistent left superior vena cava via the right subclavian vein was performed successfully without complication.
