Key result
Dual-chamber pacemakers with double active fixation leads achieve 100% success in PLSVC without long-term complications.
Why the study?
Permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava is challenging due to venous anomalies and requires evaluation of feasibility and safety.
Is transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with double active fixation leads feasible and safe in patients with persistent left superior vena cava?

Is transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with double active fixation leads feasible and safe in patients with persistent left superior vena cava?
Transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker implantation using double active fixation leads is feasible and safe in patients with persistent left superior vena cava.
Li et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) (n=9). Transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with double active fixation leads was evaluated on Successful pacemaker implantation. Transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with double active fixation leads was successfully achieved in 100% of patients with persistent left superior vena cava, with no complications observed over a mean 4-year follow-up.
