Balloon angioplasty of cardiac vein in a patient treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy

Introduction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and hospitalization in patients with symptomatic heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB) on optimal drug therapy. Among all, the reasons for “non-response” to CRT pacemaker could be the failure to achieve optimal left...
