It is potentially harmful to perform coronary sinus (CS) angiography in patients with severe contrast allergy or severe renal dysfunction due to the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). However, angiography is a well-established method to guide LV-lead position during cardiac resynchronization therapy-implantation. These two case reports describe the first successful applications of carbon dioxide CS angiography in patients requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy.
