The Right

We describe two cases in which a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator for cardiac resynchronization therapy had to be placed on the right side due to unsuitability of the left subclavian vein. Endocardial implantation of a left ventricular lead through the coronary sinus was previously attempted but was unsuccessful. Implantation of the epicardial left ventricular pacing lead was performed through video-assisted thoracic surgery on the left side. The connector end of the left ventricular pacing lead was tunnelized through the anterior mediastinum into the right pleural space. The right-sided pocket was then opened. A tunnel was created from the pocket to the thoracic wall, and the pleural space was entered over the second rib. The lead was retrieved from the right pleural space and connected with the Cardiac resynchronization therapy-device (CRT-D). Both procedures and postoperative periods were uneventful. Intrathoracic left-to-right tunneling of an epicardial left ventricular lead by video-assisted thoracic surgery is feasible and safe. It provides an alternative to subcutaneous tunneling.
