This article focuses on specific circumstances where the tools and techniques are invaluable: (1) inability to locate the coronary sinus (CS), (2) inability to advance a catheter into the CS, (3) patients with CS atresia, (4) unstable CS access, (4) angulated target veins, (5) small and/or tortuous target veins, (6) target veins into which a wire cannot be advanced, (7) target veins with a drain pipe takeoff, (8) target veins close to the CS ostium.Entities:
