Abstract
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common anomaly of the thoracic veins (occurs in 0.2-0.6% of cases in the general population), in the vast majority of cases, PLSVC drains into the right atrium through the dilated coronary sinus and usually does not lead to significant hemodynamic disorders. The presence of PLSVC is often associated with cardiac arrhythmias; in this clinical case, we present the results of catheter ablation of arrhythmogenic foci in a 72-year-old patient with continuous-recurring ectopic tachycardia originating from the PLSVC.
