This case demonstrates safe implantation of 100-cm long right ventricular bipolar active fixation pacing lead using common slittable CPS Direct ™ Universal sheath after failed attempts with "C" and "J" stylet shaped electrode. This sheath provides different angle towards tricuspid valve and more fixation stability in patient with PLSVC and absent connection to right atrium.
