Demonstrates left-sided CRT-P feasibility in PLSVC; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader adoption.
Bera et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and persistent left superior vena cava (n=1). Cardiac resynchronization therapy - pacemaker (CRT-P) device implantation was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) implantation was successfully completed from the left side in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava despite anatomical challenges.
