title: Left ventricular endocardial lead placement using a modified transseptal approach.
abstract: Coronary sinus cannulation and placement of left ventricular (LV) leads can be difficult. Occasionally alternative approaches are required. We report the first case of a modified transseptal LV endocardial lead placement via the left axillary vein for cardiac resynchronization.
