Key result
Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation with left ventricular lead placement can be successfully performed via a left-sided superior vena cava approach despite coronary sinus ostial atresia.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary sinus ostial atresia with persistent left-sided superior vena cava is a rare anomaly that increases technical difficulty but does not usually prevent successful LV lead placement for CRT.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May complicate CS cannulation during CRT implantation; leaves open optimal pre-procedural imaging strategies.
Baskaran et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Coronary sinus ostial atresia and persistent left-sided superior vena cava (n=1). Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation via left-sided superior vena cava approach was evaluated on Successful left ventricular lead placement. Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation with left ventricular lead placement can be successfully performed via a left-sided superior vena cava approach despite coronary sinus ostial atresia.
