May guide lead selection in persistent left SVC; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
Demonstrates the feasibility of transvenous dual chamber pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava using specific lead fixation types.
Lam et al. (2002) studied this question. Dual chamber pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava achieved satisfactory long-term pacing and sensing using passive right ventricular and active right atrial leads.
