Does preprocedural imaging facilitate successful placement of CRT leads in patients with transposition of the great arteries?
Preprocedural imaging of the coronary sinus in patients with transposition of the great arteries facilitates successful CRT lead placement by determining the optimal transvenous or surgical approach.

Supports feasibility of imaging-guided CRT in TGA; hypothesis-generating from case reports and should not yet change practice.
Ruckdeschel et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy (n=7). Preprocedural imaging (cardiac CT or coronary angiography) was evaluated on Successful CRT lead placement. Preprocedural imaging guided successful cardiac resynchronization therapy lead placement in all 7 patients with transposition of the great arteries, with no complications.
