Abstract
We present a case of a 21-year-old man after Senning operation admitted to our hospital for transvenous implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker. The presence of persistent left superior vena cava enabled us to implant the desired dual chamber pacemaker. It is an extremely unusual situation when two pacemaker leads utilise two different routes to the heart: superior caval vein — atrial baffle — ventricle and persistent left superior caval vein — atrium.
