Abstract
A patient who suffered from sinus node dysfunction and automatic atrial tachycardias underwent pacemaker implantation during which time a unilateral left superior vena cava was found. Despite the known difficulties in using this venous route, it was possible to place a transvenous endocardial screw-in lead in a stable position in the lower lateral wall of the right atrium.Keywords
