Circulation, 1973 The development of artificial pacemakers for the electrical control of the cardiac rhythm has greatly enhanced the physician's ability to treat cardiac dysrhythmias. Pacemakers have been useful in treating Stokes-Adams syndrome and symptomatic bradyeardias; they have helped control the occurrence of tachyarrhythmias and have played an important role in

Successful implantation of a permanent pacemaker through a persistent left superior vena cava by using a right subclavian approach [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2011 Introduction. Persistent left superior vena cava, a rare congenital abnormality, can complicate placement of pacemaker leads through the subclavian vein. A left-sided approach is usually preferable in such cases. Case report.
