Rotational coronary sinus venography and magnetic navigation to facilitate LV lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
This report demonstrates the production and use of 3-D reconstruction of a coronary sinus from a single-injection rotational angiogram. The detailed virtual model enabled easy magnetic navigation of a wire for device placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
