ABSTRACT
We report an implantation of a cardiac re-synchronization system in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava. This anomaly occurs in 0.3 to 0.5% of healthy individuals and remains usually asymptomatic. Variations of the superior vena cava should be considered in venous catheterization and other procedures such as implantation of pacemaker and ICD systems as well as port catheter insertion. In re-synchronization systems, persistent left superior vena cava can be an obstacle for cannulation of the coronary sinus and placement of a transvenous left ventricular lead.
