摘要
Technologies associated with cardiac resynchronization therapy （CRT） devices and lead systems have progressed.However, dislocation after coronary sinus （CS） lead placement continues to be a problem. We reported on the patient treated with CRT, in whom dislocation of CS lead occurred. In the case, we tried to reposition the CS lead without the left heart delivery system only using pre-shaped stylet and guidewire, and the dislocated CS lead could be successfully repositioned by the method. The method of only using a pre-shaped stylet and guidewire is easier than the conventional way, and it can shorten procedure duration and fluoroscopy time, as well as reduce the cost of treatment, but it is not always feasible.
