There is compelling data to place the coronary sinus lead (CSL) in a lateral or posterolateral tributary. Coronary sinus venography often demonstrates the absence of easily accessible lateral veins or those with sufficient size to accommodate the CSL. The operator may choose to deploy the CSL in the anterior vein but publications and experience highlight the lack of resynchronization benefit when the CSL is deployed in this location. There is often a posterolateral vessel or the middle cardiac vein (MCV) originating from near the coronary sinus (CS) os. These vessels require the operator to pull the CS guide essentially out of the CS to allow successful access. Cannulation of the coronary sinus (CS) is often challenging, and the risk of losing access to the CS may dissuade the implanter from attempting access to a vessel near the CS os. We describe a technique to access vessels near the CS os while maintaining secure position in the main body of the CS.
