Abstract :
Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava is a very rare venous anomaly and is known as isolated
PLSVC. It is usually an asymptomatic anomaly and is mostly detected during difficult central venous access or pacemaker
implantation, though it could also be associated with an increased incidence of congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and
conduction disturbances. Herein, we describe a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a patient with isolated PLSVC and sick
sinus syndrome.
