Balloon Occlusion Technique to Cannulate Angulated and Tortuous Coronary Sinus Branches in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

PACING AND CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY, Issue 11 2005
THOMAS H. MEADE
We present two cases that demonstrate a new technique to cannulate angulated and tortuous coronary sinus branches during left ventricular lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy. The technique uses an occlusive pulmonary artery balloon just beyond the takeoff of the coronary sinus branch to assist in the cannulation of the branch. [source]

Resynchronization with Left Ventricle Lead Placement Through the Foramen Ovale

CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY, Issue 6 2009
Christophe D'Ivernois MD
Left ventricle (LV) lead placement in a coronary sinus branch for cardiac resynchronization therapy may fail because of anatomical variants, phrenic nerve stimulation, and/or lead instability. We report a case of successful resynchronization from a lead inserted from the left subclavian vein and positioned through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). In conclusion, endocardial LV lead insertion through a PFO enables effective resynchronization delivery without the risks associated with a thoracotomy or atrial transseptal puncture.
