This report describes the successful deployment of a ventricular LLPM in a patient with prior surgical correction of AV septal defect with subsequent significant right atrial enlargement. The LLPM could not traverse the tricuspid valve. A snare was advanced to the right atrium and used to create greater tip deflection of the delivery sheath. Importantly, once the delivery sheath crosses the tricuspid valve, the snare is loosened to allow directing the sheath to the right ventricular septum rather than the initial direction that was toward the right ventricular apex.
