| Abstract: | Previously, complications associated with the placement of the left ventricular pacing lead were reported in 1.9-6% of cases. We describe a case with a stripping of venous intima from the coronary sinus by a guidewire during a left ventricular lead implantation. Judging from this case, the firm guidewire and coronary catheter should not be used within the coronary sinus. |
