Abstract: Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is an anatomic variant that is relatively uncommon in the general population. Lead extraction through PLSVC is extremely rare. Due to unusual anatomy, the procedure carries challenges that require special considerations and careful planning. The authors report a case of lead extraction through a PLSVC with occluded right superior vena cava and highlight the challenges and outcomes of the procedure.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
