AbstractThe persistence of the left superior vena cava is a rare venous anomaly and usually does not produce hemodynamic disturbances. Left sided cardiac device implantation has increased the awareness of this rare anomaly. In most cases, left superior vena cava connects to the right heart via coronary sinus. We describe a rare case of successful permanent pacemaker implantation via left superior vena cava-accessory hemiazygos-hemiazygos-inferior vena caval communication.
