title: Transseptal implantation of a left ventricular pacing lead for an ectopic location of the coronary sinus ostium in the left atrium.
abstract: Congenital abnormalities of the coronary sinus (CS) are rare but can be responsible for unsuccessful implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device. We report the case of an ectopic drainage of the CS in the left atrium. A left ventricular lead was implanted by the transseptal route.
