Descripción
Sumario:We report a case of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), discovered by chance during the cardiac electronic device placement procedure. PLSVCs are congenital anomalies of the thoracic vasculature, during which remnants of the left superior vena cava drain into the right atrium through the coronary sinus. PLSVCs can vary in their location and overall anatomy. In patients with PLSVC, implantation of a cardiac electronic device is associated with an increased risk of technical difficulties the entire procedure.
