A novel way to facilitate left ventricular lead implantation: Jailed catheter technique

Abstract An important therapeutic modality for heart failure with left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead placement, cannot be achieved due to anatomic challenges in some cases. In the current case, a novel implantation technique to overcome an anatomic difficulty, angled takeoff of the...
