Descrição: We present an unusual case of a geriatric patient with right-sided cardiac displacement and rotation (Pseudo-Dextrocardia) secondary to radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) after radiation for carcinoma of the right breast. This patient with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) underwent cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. Cannulization of the coronary sinus ostium was difficult, likely due to the significant cardiac displacement. However, after multiple attempts, it was eventually successful. The clinical manifestations, evaluation, and technical and procedural issues in this patient with an unusual anatomic variant are summarized.
