[Cardiac resynchronization through a persistent left superior vena cava]. / Resincronización cardíaca a través de una vena cava izquierda persistente.

ABSTRACT

Cardiac resynchronization therapy is effective in the treatment of patients with severe heart failure and intraventricular dysynchrony. However, we are sometimes faced with the unexpected presence of a persistent left superior vena cava. We report the case of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular dysynchrony in which we implanted a resynchronization pacemaker exclusively through a persistent left superior vena cava that did not communicate with the right vena cava.
