Among them, the persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a common anomaly often discovered incidentally during cardiac device implantation and could raise concerns if TLE is indicated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We report technical considerations and outcomes of TLE for two patients with leads implanted via PLSVC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two cardiac implantable electronic device recipients with isolated PLSVC required TLE due to infective endocarditis in one case and lead failure in the other. In the first case, TLE procedure was performed in a hybrid operating room with minimally invasive video\u2010assisted thoracoscopic monitoring due to the high procedural risk. Two active fixation 20\u2010year\u2010old pacing leads were removed with a relatively short fluoroscopy time. In the second case, we successfully extracted a single\u2010coil active fixation lead without the need of a locking stylet or advanced extraction tools. There were no procedural complications or adverse events at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>TLE procedures for two patients with isolated PLSVC were successfully completed with less difficulty and tools than expected based on the characteristics of the targeted leads. If indicated, TLE in the presence of a PLSVC should be considered in experienced
