• Persistent left superior vena cava is the most common thoracic venous anomaly. It is usually asymptomatic, but it can make implanting intracardiac devices difficult.We present a novel technique to facilitate desfibrillator lead implantation in patients with persistent left superior vena cava and the absence of the right superior vena cava. We used a fixed-curve Selectra 3D 65-42 cm sheath (Biotronik), orienting it toward the tricuspid valve (TV) by rotating it counter-clockwise. During follow-up, the electrodes remained stable.Our technique was safe, simple, and feasible for patients with this complex venous anatomy.
