- Abstract
This article focuses on three-dimensional reconstruction of the coronary sinus using rotational angiography. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has become one of the primary treatments for patients with congestive heart failure refractory to medical therapy. The implantation of the left ventricular pacing lead can be challenging due to anatomic variations in the branching pattern of the coronary sinus. Standard contrast angiography provides only a static fixed projection of the coronary venous tree. High-speed rotational angiography is a newly developed angiographic modality that offers dynamic multi-angle visualization of the coronary venous tree. This new imaging technique has the potential to significantly facilitate implantation of the coronary sinus lead at the optimal site for ventricular resynchronization therapy.
