Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in a Patient with an Interrupted Inferior Vena Cava and Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava

Abstract

atrial fibrillation, interrupted inferior vena cava, persistent left superior vena cava, hemiazygos vein, radiofrequency catheter ablation might have an electrical connection with the CS and LA as

Successful implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implantation through a communicating branch of the persistent left superior vena cava

“…Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is often encountered in the electrophysiology laboratory and can be accompanied by other venous anomalies [1]. Implantation of transvenous pacemaker or implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) leads through the PLSVC is challenging, with prolonged procedural times.…”
