We report a case of a patient with an additional great cardiac vein, discovered during the implantation for car­diac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Anomalies of the coronary sinus and its tributaries may cause difficulties in appropriate implantation of the left ventricular lead but they can also be considered as alternatives for lead placement. Although unusual angiogram of the coronary venous system, a left ventricular pacing lead was successfully placed in the left marginal vein. To settle diagnostic doubts, multislice computed tomography was carried out.

Left Ventricular Lead Placement

Left ventricular (LV) lead in cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is the most important and difficult lead to place, leading to abandonment of up to 10–15 % of procedures. Here we discuss various difficulties encountered in percutaneous placement of LV leads and what all can be done to ensure successful placement of the same and to prevent the already compromised patient from the requirement of epicardial lead placement.
