Abstract

The left superior vena cava is a persistent embryo-genetic variant, occurring in 0.3 to 0.5% of individuals in which the venous blood of the upper half of the body is drained through a left vena cava into the coronary sinus and/or through the atrio-ventricular groove in the right atrium. We present a case of incidental finding of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) in a 70 years female who was being implanted with a single chamber pacemaker for complete heart block.
