How to do a coronary sinus angiogram:

1️⃣Engage the CS in LAO, then confirm and advance the sheath in RAO. I use a MPA2 or AL2 coronary catheter inside CS sheath & find the CS with a long glidewire. If wire glides in w/o ectopy and is posterior in RAO, you're in.

#EPeeps How to do a coronary sinus angiogram:

2️⃣So important to advance CS sheath in RAO. This allows you to see if you're off axis. In LAO, sheath may buckle in the RA & you'll never know until sheath falls out when you try to advance. RAO lets you see that & fix it by torquing sheath.

Anyone concerned by this CXR?

#EPeeps ImageImage My concern — agree w others. Feared ICD lead crossed PFO into LV. This was next day CXR after new implant.

Action— echo

Findings — Lead in RV. All OK. Pt discharged home.
