Coronary Sinus Venous stenosis is rare; however, it is often encountered during left ventricular (LV) lead implantation, which is the cornerstone of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

We investigate the efficacy of coronary vein angioplasty using a cutting balloon to facilitate the implantation of LV lead.
