Özet

Upper venous system anatomic variations may cause difficulties during cardiac pacemaker implantation. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and absent right superior vena cava could be an arrhythmogenic source of atrial arrhythmias and cardiac conduction disease. We represent dual-chamber pacemaker implantation in a patient with a very rare upper venous system anomaly, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome, that cause unusual fluoroscopic image.
