Transvenous CRT-D succeeds in a 42-year-old male despite coronary sinus ostial atresia.
Case Report (n=1)
Transvenous CRT-D implantation can be successfully performed even in patients with coronary sinus ostial atresia.
May enable CRT-D in CS ostial atresia; leaves open generalizability pending larger series.
A 42-year-old male with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy, sinus rhythm, LBBB morphology (QRS duration 150ms), New York Heart Association class III heart failure symptoms and recurrent syncope with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was referred for cardiac resynchronisation therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation. Implantation of the LV lead proved difficult due to inability to cannulate the coronary sinus (CS) …

Wilson et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary sinus ostial atresia (n=1). Transvenous cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-D) implantation was evaluated on Successful implantation of LV lead. Transvenous cardiac resynchronisation therapy was successfully performed in a 42-year-old male despite the inability to cannulate the coronary sinus due to ostial atresia.
