Abstract
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) occurs in 0.3 percent of the total population, demonstrated in autopsy. This anatomical variant is usually discovered in patients during selective coronary angiography or procedures for temporary or permanent electrocardiostimulation.
We present two clinical cases, in which PLSVC is used as a route for the introduction of leads for electrocardiostimulation.
