Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2013 Mar;36(3):e74-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2012.03361.x. Epub 2012 Apr 1.

Abstract

Ultrasound imaging has been used in a range of cardiac interventions. We describe the use of intravascular ultrasound to assist in coronary sinus lead implantation in a patient where contrast venography was contraindicated.
