Successful Implantation of Transvenous Pacing System via Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava and Coronary Sinus in Small Children
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transvenous pacemaker implantation tends to be difficult in the setting of a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) and an absent or inaccessible right SVC. We report two small children in whom transvenous pacing leads were successfully inserted via a persistent left SVC. This technique was safe in our cases; however, favorable long-term result has yet to be demonstrated.

Implantation of a Resynchronization Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator in a Patient with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
Implantation of resynchronization implantable cardioverter defibrillator was performed in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava. A dual coil defibrillation lead was inserted in the right ventricle apex via a small innominate vein. Left ventricular and atrial leads were implanted through persistent left superior vena cava. Left ventricular lead was easily implanted into the postero l...
متن کاملTransvenous pacing in presence of anomalous venous return to heart.
The majority of patients requiring pacemakers are paced using a transvenous electrode. Difficulties may be encountered in passing the electrode wire into the heart because of anomalous venous return. Probably the most frequent anomaly is a persistent left superior vena cava and the rarest is absence of the right superior vena cava (Winter, 1954; Hudson, I965; Sherman, I963). Recent case reports...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy in a Patient with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Draining into the Coronary Sinus and Absent Innominate Vein: A Case Report and Review of Literature
INTRODUCTION Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare congenital anomaly of the superior venous system that may be discovered at the time of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS We present a subject who needed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-CIED implantation and was discovered to have PLSVC with absent innominate vein during the i...
متن کاملSinus node dysfunction associated with absence of right superior vena cava.
A 41-year-old man presented with dizziness associated with sinus bradycardia and sinus arrest. An attempt to implant a transvenous pacing lead was frustrated by absence of the right superior vena cava. The left superior vena cava persisted and drained via the coronary sinus into the right atrium. Absence of the right superior vena cava may present with symptomatic sinus node dysfunction and may...
متن کاملCRT-D Implantation Through a Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
A persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) was present in a 74 year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device with defibrillator (CRT-D). A dual-coil active-fixation defibrillator lead was positioned in the right ventricular apex, followed by a SonR active fixation lead in the right atrial free wall. The coronary sinus lead was a...
