title: Longitudinally partitioned coronary sinus: an unusual anomaly of the coronary venous system.
abstract: We report a case of a patient with advanced heart failure who had a longitudinally partitioned coronary sinus. With multidirectional fluoroscopic views and a careful approach to the target lumen, a left ventricular lead for biventricular pacing was placed successfully in the left marginal vein.
