Quadripolar left ventricular lead implantation through the anchor struts of a mitral valve annuloplasty device.
We describe cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with a mitral valve annuloplasty device in situ for functional mitral regurgitation. We successfully implanted a left ventricular lead through a mitral valve annuloplasty device anchor into the coronary sinus and then through the struts of the device's proximal anchor.
