چکیده

Background: Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (PLSVC) is a rare congenital anomaly which is typically asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during device implantation. Methods: In this case, we present challenges and techniques of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in a patient with PLSVC. Results: After evaluating the exact anatomy of PLSVC and Coronary Sinus (CS), we chose the appropriate approach and equipment’s. By using a J shaped stylet, a guide wire and inner sub-selection catheter, we performed implantation successfully. Conclusion: In most cases of PLSVC, successful cardiac device implantation is possible with increasing operator experience, cardiac imaging and appropriate tools.

CRT-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...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy in persistent left superior vena cava: Can you do it two-leads-only?

Introduction Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital developmental abnormality of the sinus venosus with an incidence of 0.47% in patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic devices. The 2 variants include a double superior vena cava (right and left SVC, with or without an innominate vein connecting the two) or a single left-sided SVC (without a right SVC), which may o...

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...
