Key result
Transseptal implantation of a left ventricular pacing lead was successfully performed in a patient with an ectopic drainage of the coronary sinus in the left atrium.
Why the study?
Can a left ventricular pacing lead be implanted via the transseptal route in a patient with ectopic drainage of the coronary sinus in the left atrium?
Can a left ventricular pacing lead be implanted via the transseptal route in a patient with ectopic drainage of the coronary sinus in the left atrium?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Transseptal implantation of a left ventricular pacing lead is a feasible alternative for patients with ectopic drainage of the coronary sinus in the left atrium requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Congenital abnormalities of the coronary sinus (CS) are rare but can be responsible for unsuccessful implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device. We report the case of an ectopic drainage of the CS in the left atrium. A left ventricular lead was implanted by the transseptal route.
