Abstract
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a venous anomaly with a prevalence of 0.3-0.5% in the general population.(1) PLSVC is usually an incidental finding during implantation of transvenous cardiac device and the procedure may be unsuccessful or complicated.2,3 A patient undergoing pacemaker implantation showed PLSVC, right superior vena cava (RSVC) and connecting brachiocephalic vein.
