Abstract
We report a 64-year-old man with atrial fibrillation and impaired left vent ricular function in whom pacemaker lead manipulation during biatrial pacema ker lead removal and biventricular pacemaker lead insertion caused coronary sinus dissection. After further manipulation of the biventricular pacing l ead the true lumen of the coronary sin us could be entered and satisfactory left ventricular pacing undertaken. The dissection was managed conservativ ely without long-term sequelae.
