Abstract
CRT is important in the treatment of heart failure. However, the physicians can encounter some serious difficulties in CRT implantations. Particularly, its difficulty is in the process of LV lead fixation. Although practical solutions such as permanent Stylet method have been developed to overcome this difficulty, they each can be problematic in separate ways. In our 58-year-old male patient adjacent organs perforation occurred because of permanent Stylet. In this report, we have showed that permanent Stylet method is a risky method.
