Inadvertent implantation of an ICD lead in the great cardiac vein.
We report an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implanted with a single lead inadvertently introduced in the great cardiac vein. No venous lesion was caused by the shocks and the position of the lead remained stable. This case emphasizes the usefulness of different fluoroscopic views during ICD implantation.
