It was reported that QRS narrowing in CRT was related to long-term mortality, and LOT-CRT further decreased QRS duration as compared with LBBP only or biventricular pacing and increased the response rate. Combining LBBAP with coronary sinus pacing can potentially achieve superior electrical resynchronization. Lack of a suitable tool for direct shock lead placement in LBBA necessitated additional LBBAP lead in conventional LOT-CRT. Our successful LOT-CRT-D procedure with minimal number of leads through Agilis HisPro catheter reshaping enabled direct LBBA shock lead placement.
