Abstract
Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (PLSVC) is the most common congenital abnormality of the thoracic venous system, it is usually diagnosed as an unexpected finding during attempts to left-sided venous catheterisation for intracardiac lead placement which can make more challenging and time consuming. Patients with this congenital malformation are at increased risk of developing various cardiac arrhythmias.
