Key result
Trans-septal left ventricular endocardial pacing was successfully performed without complication in 1 patient with a persistent left-sided superior vena cava.
Case Report (n=1)
Trans-septal left ventricular endocardial pacing is a feasible alternative for cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with a persistent left-sided superior vena cava.
Supports feasibility in persistent left SVC; hypothesis-generating for endocardial CRT and requires prospective validation.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via the coronary sinus is not always possible. Left ventricular (LV) endocardial lead placement is a potential alternative, although its feasibility in patients with congenital heart disease is unknown. We report a case of endocardial LV pacing in a patient with a persistent left-sided superior vena cava. The procedure was successfully performed without complication, using standard equipment.
