Abstract

Left-sided superior vena cava (LSVC) is the most common venous thoracic anomaly. Absence of the right superior vena cava (RSVC) on the other hand is very rare. We describe a patient with this abnormal venous system, who was admitted to our centre for an implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
