Catheterisation of a persistent left superior vena cava [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2018 We present a case of a 62-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease who displayed a persistent left superior vena cava detected following placement of haemodialysis catheter through the left internal jugular vein (IJV). The diagnosis was confirmed by left internal jugular vein cathetogram, computed tomography (CT) thorax and transthoracic ...

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 ...

Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: A Rare Association [PDF]
Global Pediatric Health, 2021 Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most frequent abnormality in the general population with the frequency of 0.1% to 0.5%. It results from the failure of the involution of the left anterior cardinal vein. Right and Left SVC can coexist together in 80% to 90% of cases.
