Cardiac defibrillator implantation via persistent left superior vena cava

الملخص EN

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is an uncommon anomaly.

We describe a case of a left-sided implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) through a PLSVC, assessing the technical approach to such a procedure, along with a review of the clinical implications that might ensue.

Learning objectives : LSVC is a rare anatomical venous variation.

Knowledge of its presence and clinical implications will render a lead implantation safer and will limit complications that might ensue.
