Key result
Right-sided CRT-CIED implantation succeeds in persistent left superior vena cava with absent innominate vein.
Why the study?
Persistent left superior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly that may complicate cardiac implantable electronic device implantation, requiring specific techniques.

Right-sided CRT-CIED implantation succeeds in persistent left SVC with absent innominate vein; extends technical options but leaves open generalizability.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of CRT-CIED implantation using a right-sided approach in patients with persistent left superior vena cava and absent innominate vein.
Nair et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Persistent left superior vena cava with absent innominate vein requiring CRT-CIED (n=1). CRT-CIED implantation using a right-sided approach via the right SVC was evaluated on Successful implantation. CRT-CIED was successfully implanted using a right-sided approach via the right superior vena cava in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava and absent innominate vein.
