Feasibility of biventricular pacing via persistent left SVC after contralateral extraction shown; leaves open need for larger series before wider adoption.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the technical feasibility of biventricular pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava following contralateral device extraction.
Yamamoto et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) requiring biventricular pacemaker implantation (n=1). Biventricular pacemaker implantation via PLSVC was evaluated on Procedural success. Biventricular pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava was successfully performed after transvenous extraction of an infected device from the contralateral side.
