Slittable sheath supported right ventricular pacing lead implantation in persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPersistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most common variant of systemic venous drainage. In the absence of the right superior vena cava (RSVC), implantation of a right ventricular pacing lead may be challenging. Therefore specific implantation techniques and experiences in PLSVC are worth reporting. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case report of a 90-year-old Caucasian female patient with PLSVC during single chamber pacemaker implantation due to the third-degree atrioventricular block. With common implantation techniques, we did not even reach the right ventricle. Therefore slittable CPS Direct ™ Universal sheath was employed to overcome the acute angle from PLSVC to tricuspid valve and ensure more fixation stability for longer 100-cm right ventricular lead placement.
conclusionThis case demonstrates safe implantation of 100-cm long right ventricular bipolar active fixation pacing lead using common slittable CPS Direct ™ Universal sheath after failed attempts with "C" and "J" stylet shaped electrode. This sheath provides different angle towards tricuspid valve and more fixation stability in patient with PLSVC and absent connection to right atrium.
