Transvenous pacemaker placement in a dog with atrioventricular block and persistent left cranial vena cava
چکیده انگلیسی

The case reported herein describes the placement of a permanent transvenous pacemaker in an older dog with a previously undiagnosed persistent left cranial vena cava (PLCVC) and recent onset symptomatic third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. On presentation the dog was found to have atrial flutter and third-degree AV block and echocardiography demonstrated evidence of chronic valvular disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The persistent left cranial vena cava was discovered via angiography when difficulties were encountered with pacemaker placement. Successful right ventricular pacing necessitated passage of the lead through the coronary sinus. The attendant complications in pacemaker placement in the presence of a PLCVC are well-described in man but, to the authors' knowledge, have not been described in companion animals.
