Key result
Endocardial biventricular pacing via a transseptally introduced LV lead was successfully performed in a 73-year-old man, offering an alternative to epicardial LV pacing.
Why the study?
Is transseptal endocardial LV lead placement feasible for biventricular pacing when coronary sinus access is unsuccessful?
Case Report (n=1)
Is transseptal endocardial LV lead placement feasible for biventricular pacing when coronary sinus access is unsuccessful?
Transseptal endocardial LV lead placement offers an alternative approach for multisite pacing when coronary sinus access fails.

Should not yet change practice for failed CS access; leaves open feasibility of transseptal endocardial LV leads in larger studies.
JAÏS et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Coronary artery disease, end-stage congestive heart failure, and sick sinus syndrome (n=1). Endocardial biventricular pacing via transseptal LV lead was evaluated. Endocardial biventricular pacing via a transseptally introduced LV lead was successfully performed in a 73-year-old man, offering an alternative to epicardial LV pacing.
