Abstract
We report a case of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) incidentally recognized during the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator. PLSVC is the most common venous anomaly of the thorax and drains into the right atrium. There are a lot of publications reporting success of pacemaker or...Keywords
