Transvenous Pacing via a Disconnected Superior Vena Cava in a Patient with Transposition of the Great Arteries

We describe successful implantation of a permanent pacemaker via the right subclavian vein in a 28‐year‐old man with operated transposition of the great arteries where the superior vena cava is completely disconnected from the systemic venous atrium following a previous Glenn procedure.
