Occlusion of the coronary sinus: a complication of resynchronisation therapy for severe heart failure
The finding of complete obstruction of the proximal coronary sinus after left ventricular (LV) lead extraction during LV lead replacement is uncommon. In our case, we used a large collateral branch of the middle cardiac vein as an alternative route to the postero-lateral region. We have termed this...

In our case, we used a large collateral branch of the middle cardiac vein as an alternative route to the postero-lateral region. We have termed this the 'collateral approach'. |
