  • Title: [Pacemaker implantation in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava and atresia of the right superior vena cava].
    Author: Matos V, Roberto H, Leal M, Marques AM, Camacho M, de Moura Z, Fong FP, Gonsalves A.
    Journal: Rev Port Cardiol; 1994 Nov; 13(11):853-6, 809. PubMed ID: 7848656.
    Abstract:
    Persistent left superior vena cava with absence or atresia of right superior vena cava is a congenital abnormality of systemic venous return to the heart which may complicate the insertion of a pacemaker electrode. We present a case report of a patient with conduction system disturbances in whom this abnormality was diagnosed during pacemaker implantation, with the possibility of using a transvenous electrode without active fixation system.
