During
cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation, left ventricular lead placement
involves transvenous placement of leads via the coronary sinus and into a
tributary branch. At present, the most widely used
method for left ventricular (LV) lead placement involves a transvenous LV lead
placement via the coronary sinus into a tributary branch. Lead dislodgement
is a common cause for reoperation. We describe a case where a coronary stent
was placed to stabilize the lead against the vessel wall.
