Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava with the Absence of the Right Superior Vena Cava and Atrial Appendage: Complex Pacemaker Implantation in a Patient Presenting with a Rare Vascular Anomaly

Internal medicine, 2023
A persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a commonly observed anatomical anomaly that is frequently detected incidentally via computed tomography (CT) imaging.

Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: Rare Location of Hemodialysis Catheter

Cureus, 2023
When the left cardinal vein fails to involute during fetal life, a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) develops. PLSVC is a rare vascular anomaly, and the reported incidence is 0.3-0.5% in healthy individuals.

Misdiagnosis of persistent left superior vena cava with unroofed coronary sinus as a coronary sinus‐type atrial septal defect

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Awareness of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with unroofed coronary sinus is crucial. Pre‐ and perioperative evaluation of this association is necessary for surgical plan.

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava: Case series and systematic review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Introduction Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common form of thoracic venous abnormality. Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) can be complicated by the existence of PLSVC, which could act as an important ...

Feasibility and safety of left atrial access for ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2022
In patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) ablation procedures can be challenging. We sought to determine the feasibility and safety of left atrial ablations in patients with PLSVC, especially when PLSVC is unknown prior to the ablation ...

Right-sided approach to left bundle branch area pacing combined with atrioventricular node ablation in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava and left bundle branch block: a case report

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an alternative to right ventricular (RV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing in patients scheduled for pace and ablate treatment strategy.

Persistent left superior vena cava: clinical importance and differential diagnoses

Insights into Imaging, 2020
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common thoracic venous anomaly and may be a component of the complex cardiac pathologies. While it is often asymptomatic, it can lead to significant problems such as arrhythmias and cyanosis. Besides,
