Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by biventricular pacing reduces symptoms and improves left ventricular function in many patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony. Implantation of the biventricular pacing lead in association with persistent left superior vena cava is technically challenging. We report a successful case of minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic left ventricular epicardial lead implantation for biventricular pacing in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava.
