Active fixation coronary sinus lead in a patient with persistence of left superior vena cava

Abstract

In patients with PLSVC, the use of an active fixation lead (like the Medtronic "Attain Stability") on the coronary sinus can lead to a successful and safe cardiac resynchronization, facilitating its positioning with a low long-term displacement rate.

Keywords: active fixation lead; cardiac resynchronization therapy and defibrillator; cardiac venous anomaly; heart failure; sudden cardiac death.
