Abstract
This report describes the successful implantation of a LV lead using balloon venoplasty to overcome a very tight stenosis of the right subclavian vein / brachiocephalic junction for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-P) in a patient with a right sided CRT-P system and a failed epicardial LV lead. It is important for device implanters to be familiar with interventional equipments and techniques such as balloon venoplasty to overcome difficult venous access.
