Mechanical septal debulking to enable left bundle branch pacing through dense septal scar: A bailout technique

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Conduction system pacing has emerged as a more physiological alternative to conventional right ventricular apical pacing and has demonstrated promising results in patients with left bundle branch block. Moreover, it is the preferred option in patients with an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) when coronary sinus lead implantation is not feasible or is associated with suboptimal outcomes.
