Implantation of a VDD ICD lead via a persistent left superior vena cava is feasible and can achieve appropriate device function with stable atrial sensing.
Vámos et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Ischemic cardiomyopathy with persistent left superior vena cava (n=1). VDD implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation via persistent left superior vena cava was evaluated on Successful implantation and appropriate device function with stable atrial sensing. A VDD implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead was successfully implanted via a persistent left superior vena cava, demonstrating appropriate device function and stable atrial sensing at 1-year follow-up.
