Biventricular pacemaker implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava after removal of an infected device from the right side

Abstract Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital anomaly that poses a unique challenge when implanting cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) from the left side. To date, only a few isolated case reports are available regarding biventricular pacemaker implantation via PLSV...
