A persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare abnormality that presents a challenge to the implanter. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of implantation of dual-chamber pacemaker via PLSVC utilizing a steerable stylet (the Locater; St. Jude Medical, Inc., Minnetonka, Minnesota) with chronic follow-up showing stable threshold.
