摘要
Persistent left superior vena cava(LSVC) can be incidentally detected during pacemaker implantation through left pectoral side.There is technical difficulty of optimal site pacing and lead stability for right ventricle lead in such situation.We hereby report a case of successful single-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD) implantation in a 50 years-old male with LSVC.The practical issues related with right ventricle lead implantation and pacing/defibrillation parameters for ICD device are discussed.
