An important therapeutic modality for heart failure with left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead placement, cannot be achieved due to anatomic challenges in some cases. In the current case, a novel implantation technique to overcome an anatomic difficulty, angled takeoff of the side branch of the coronary sinus, was presented.
