AB  - Duringcardiac resynchronization therapy implantation, left ventricular lead placementinvolves transvenous placement of leads via the coronary sinus and into atributary branch. At present, the most widely usedmethod for left ventricular (LV) lead placement involves a transvenous LV leadplacement via the coronary sinus into a tributary branch. Lead dislodgementis a common cause for reoperation. We describe a case where a coronary stentwas placed to stabilize the lead against the vessel wall.
