An acutely angulated coronary sinus ostium coupled with a dilated right atrium presents technical challenges for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation. Innovative use of a deployable left ventricle lead as an anchor to support guidewire navigation within the cardiac venous system permits optimal CRT deployment. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
