Isolated Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava, Sick Sinus Syndrome, and Challenging Pacemaker Implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava is a very rare venous anomaly and is known as isolated PLSVC. It is usually an asymptomatic anomaly and is mostly detected during difficult central venous access or pacemaker implantation, though it could also be associated with an increased incidence of congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and conduction disturbances. Herein, we describe a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a patient with isolated PLSVC and sick sinus syndrome.

A 40-year old man with a history of surgically corrected congenital infundibular pulmonal stenosis and subvalvular membranous aortic stenosis presented with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome. Sick sinus syndrome may be related to stretching of the atrioventricular node and bundle of His, often a result of changed hemodynamics due to the underlying congenital disease. Implantation of a DDDR pacema...

BACKGROUND Dextrocardia, or right-lying heart, is an uncommon congenital heart disease in which the apex of the heart is located on the right side of chest. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVA) is a rare venous anomaly that is often associated with the abnormalities of cardiac transduction system. A case with combination of dextrocardia, persistent left superior vena cava, and sick sinus ...

Implantation of a single-chamber pacemaker was planned in an 83-year-old woman with sick-sinus syndrome causing dizziness, bradycardia and tachycardia. After puncture of the right subclavian vein it proved impossible to advance a guide-wire into the superior vena cava, under fluoroscopy the wire always being seen to coil in the left subclavian vein and hence passing into a caudally directed vei...

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is rare but important congenital vascular anomaly. It results when the left superior cardinal vein caudal to the innominate vein fails to regress. It is most commonly observed in isolation but can be associated with other cardiovascular abnormalities including atrial septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of aorta, coronary sinus and ostial ...

Symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia is a common indication for radiofrequency catheter ablation treatment. Often, supraventricular tachycardia is associated with sick sinus syndrome, which requires the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Underlying structural heart diseases such as complex congenital anomalies or a history of prior cardiac surgery can hinder successful procedural treatm...
