Abstract Patients with corrected transposition of great arteries (c-TGA) are generally known to develop atrioventricular block, systemic right ventricular dysfunction, and tricuspid regurgitation over time, which are associated with tachyarrhythmia and progressive heart failure. A 76-year-old man had been diagnosed with c-TGA. He developed a cardiopulmonary arrest while playing tennis, and an automated external defibrillator detected ventricular fibrillation (VF). Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intensive treatment were performed. He fully recovered without neurological sequelae. QRS duration was 172 ms. Echocardiography showed marked dysfunction and dyssynchrony of the systemic right ventricle (systemic right ventricular end-diastolic diameter/end-systolic diameter = 73/60 mm, systemic right ventricular ejection fraction = 34%). For secondary prevention and treatment of progressive heart failure, cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation was recommended. Venography via the left cubital superficial vein revealed a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and giant coronary sinus that did not connect with the right superior vena cava (SVC). Because of the acute angle between the PLSVC and great cardiac vein, we selected a right-sided approach via the right SVC. We were finally able to deliver a coronary sinus lead to the lateral vein. CRT-D implantation can be achieved even in patients with c-TGA and PLSVC. < Learning objective: CRT-D implantation can be achieved even in a patient with c-TGA and PLSVC.>
