Abnormalities of the vena cava system are usually asymptomatic and are found incidentally during pacemaker implantation or catherization. We report a case of dilative cardiomyopathy requiring cardiac resynchronization defibrillator therapy (CRT-D). During the operation, a persistent left Superior vena cava with an absent right vena cava was discovered. During open chest surgery, we implanted a CRT-D with epicardial patches and pacing leads, which is a simple technique for safe and reliable biventricular defibrillator therapy in these patients.
