| Abstract: | Persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) is an uncommon condition,usually encountered during cannulation of the left subclavianvein. We describe a patient who required a cardiac device upgradeto cardiac resynchronization implantable cardioverter defibrillatorfor biventricular failure. The presence of a persistent leftSVC proved to be a blessing in disguise in this patient as hehad since developed total occlusion of the left subclavian-innominatesystem. |
