title: Percutaneous coronary vein angioplasty for severe spasm of the posterolateral vein during bi-ventricular pacing.
abstract: Coronary venous spasm is an under-recognized and often reversible technical challenge that may be encountered while placing bi-ventricular pacing devices. We describe a case of severe vasopsam in the posterolateral left ventricular vein that was managed by balloon angioplasty, followed by successful placement of the left ventricular lead.
