Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) was diagnosed during double chamber pacemaker implantation. PLSVC has a prevalence of 0.3-0.5% and may render cardiopulmonary bypass and device implantation more challenging. Nevertheless, evidence suggests it does not influence long-term follow-up.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Portuguese Journal of Cardiac Thoracic and Vascular Surgery}, author={Magro, Pedro and Boshoff, Sérgio and Calquinha, José}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={75} }
