A left superior vena cava persistence was found in a 61 year‐old patient affected by dilated and hypokinetic cardiopathy with severe dysfunction of the left ventricle (left ventricular ejection fraction of 32%) and valvular disease.

The present case describes the successful implantation of a biventricular defibrillator in this challenging congenital abnormality of cardiac venous system.
