Abstract
Left-sided superior vena cava (LSVC) is the most common venous thoracic anomaly. Absence of the right superior vena cava (RSVC) on the other hand is very rare. We describe a patient with this abnormal venous system, who was admitted to our centre for an implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).Entities:
Keywords: anomaly; cardioverter defibrillator (implantable); superior vena cava (left); superior vena cava (right, absent); thorax (upper)
