CRT represents a valid therapeutic option in heart failure treatment. Nowadays, CRT implantations remain stable and are mainly performed in patients with class I indications. ECG remains the preferred tool for patient selection, whereas imaging is increasingly used to determine the left pacing target area. In most patients, the left ventricular lead can be successfully positioned in the target vein, but in some cases, the result can be unsatisfactory; however, the decision to explore alternative resynchronization approaches is rarely pursued.
