The incidence of persistent left superior vena cava in the population is 0.3%. Its combination with right superior vena cava agenesis is a much rarer occurrence. The aim of this paper is to report the case of complete biventricular cardioverter-defibrillator implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava.
