Key result
Implantation of a dual-chamber cardioverter defibrillator was successfully achieved in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava by utilizing both the innominate vein and coronary sinus.
Why the study?
Persistent left superior vena cava presents complex anatomical variations that make transvenous lead placement challenging during device implantation.
Population
One 47-year-old patient with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, LVEF-27%, and PLSVC
Design
Case report and brief literature review

Demonstrates the technical feasibility of implanting a dual-chamber ICD in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava by utilizing both the innominate vein and the coronary sinus.
Haba et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (n=1). Implantation of a dual-chamber automatic cardioverter defibrillator was evaluated on Successful implantation of a dual-chamber cardioverter defibrillator. Implantation of a dual-chamber cardioverter defibrillator was successfully achieved in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava by utilizing both the innominate vein and coronary sinus.
