We demonstrate a safe and successful approach to resolving a PAC knot around pacing leads of a cardiac resynchronization device. A 63-year-old African American male with dilated cardiomyopathy and a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device for severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction required PAC insertion for
