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). Plain balloon angioplasty and anchor balloon technique have been described for LV lead implantation in patients with venous stenosis and tortuous anatomy. We investigate the efficacy of coronary vein angioplasty using a cutting balloon to facilitate the implantation of LV lead.
